I'm fascinated by the challenges of constructing large, complex software systems – software engineering. I'm especially interested in the evolution (e.g., enhancement) of large software systems, which is driven by unpredictable market forces, including the creative spark of innovation and the user's appetite for leading-edge functionality.

My research in this area largely comprises two topics, infrastructure for ubiquitous computing and the invention of new programming tools, most recently in the area of aspect-oriented software development. The latter is often aided the application of leading-edge compiler technology. My ubicomp work can be found at activecampus.ucsd.edu. I also have an active educational technology program supported by my ubicomp and SE work. Check out the UCSD Software Evolution Lab's page for my projects on tool-assisted program restructuring, visualization of latent program structure, software architecture for evolving systems, and whole-program analysis techniques for program understanding and restructuring.

• I am a proponent of active learning. I work on technology to support active learning and am also a TIES advisor for the St. Pauls Digital Nursing project. Check out the NSF's 1998 Boyer Report.

• I favor interdisciplinary collaboration, and am a participant in Cal-(IT)², a UCSD/UCI institute supporting collaborative research in information and telelcommunications technology.

• My students, past and present, are the core of my community. Darren Atkinson is now at Santa Clara University. Here is a family tree of computer science. You'll find us under Djikstra.

• My PhD advisor was David Notkin at the University of Washington. Several of his former students, Kevin Sullivan, Gail Murphy, and Michael Ernst, are close colleagues of mine. There are a lot of UW folks at UCSD, too.

The Art of Peace begins with you. Work on yourself and your appointed task in the Art of Peace. Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow. You are here to realize your inner divinity and manifest your innate enlightenment. Foster peace in your own life and then apply the Art to all that you encounter -- Morihei Ueshiba, founder of Aikido
