Project List

The following projects represent the major activities during the last several years. Additional project history activity is available if needed. The projects start with the most recent and go backwards in time. Sometimes projects parallel in time since quite often I worked on more than one project concurrently.

Also I would like to emphasize that all the research and private development activity is done part time when on a project which is my primary function. All research writing and study are funded by me with no outside funds.

During this time I have continued my research into the cognitive use of man machine dialogue with my in-house project see description below . Also I have published another book on Amazon Kindle called C Data Mining Introduction . In my work on the brain model I have incorporated the SharePoint Foundation 2010 class API s for the Document Management aspect of the ASP.NET brain model. Basically the ASP.Net application wraps the use of the SharePoint Foundation 2010 for many of the capabilities of SharePoint. Not only document management but the collaboration aspect is another one of the capabilities of SharePoint that is incorporated into the overall functionality of the brain model.

The client side of the communication for Web Document Management is coded using WPF. This allows us to scan documents and save them to a ScanInput file. This is the file which is subsequently uploaded by the Document Management capability of the ASP.NET based Knowledge Brain Child. The Knowledge Brain Child which I have developed really is a Global Associative Brain that communicates over the Internet and dialogues with users worldwide. The Knowledge Brain Child currently runs on my Windows Server 2008 R2 and uses the SQL Server 2008 R2 Database. The database is really a three dimensional network of associations between sentences based upon its experience in dialoguing with users.

During this time I completed another one of the Great Courses The Intelligent Brain . This was composed of some 18 one half hour lectures. This is just part of my on-going research in the cognitive use of computers by human. I have also complete another one of the Great Courses Big Data How Data Analytics Is Transforming the World which consists of 24 half hour lectures.

During this time I also wrote another book called Bayes and R Language Introduction and the manuscript is being reviewed by a publisher.

During this time I have continued my research into the cognitive use of man machine dialogue with my in-house project. This involves the use of Windows Server 2008 R2 SQL Server 2008 R2 ASP.NET 4.0 C 4.0 and JavaScript. For the document management aspect I have incorporated a SharePoint Foundation 2013 Server under ASP.Net on the Windows 2008 R2 Server for communication with the Brain Model. The development for the research is done using Visual Studio 2010. It also involves using the Internet for the Client/Server communications. See description of project at the end of the resume. I do this work until I start another project. Approximately 80 of my time during this period has been the involvement with the research.

The second part of this Client/Server is a Web Document Mover application coded using WPF. The retrieving of document information at the client machine can be acquired from the Knowledge Brain Child Database or scanned in at the client machine. This application has the very latest techniques for scanning documents and the subsequent management and storage. These files will be available to the Knowledge Brain Child for uploading to the Document Management Storage and Retrieval function in the Knowledge Brain Child. This client side application development uses WPF as the framework for the application. For the Document Management under the Knowledge Brain Child I wrapped the ASP.NET application around SharePoint Foundation 2010 and used its extensive capabilities for document management.

I completed the video filming of a Live Lessons DVD for the last book Windows 7 Device Driver . The video is bundled with the book and also will be available on eSafari and InformIT. I have written several articles for the magazine InformIT. See the URLs for the articles in the resume below. I do the writing while I am looking for the next project. When doing a project I work part time on the writing.

Also during this time I wrote a book manuscript R Language for Business which is being evaluated by a publishing company for possible publishing. The R Language is the next generation statistical and probability language for compilation and is interactive in nature. The language is part of the Open Software Community and is free. I also used the MySQL Data Base Management package for the business data base aspect which also is part of the Open Software Community and is free. Also during this time I have published 8 books on Amazon.Com Kindle for worldwide sales see publishing list below .

I finished a refresher on Differential Equations. This course is called Mastering Differential Equations The Visual Method . This course is offered as one of The Great Courses by The Teaching Company. Also during this same period as part of my ongoing research I have completed the following Great Courses
