Provided information modeling experience and other standards development support for the Artificial Intelligence Expert System Tie to Automatic Test Equipment AI-ESTATE standards working group of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers IEEE SCC-20. TRW contract

Performed methodology and requirements analysis to support the development of the A Broad Based Environment for Test ABBET data standard. This was a working group of the IEEE. TRW contract

Taught information and process modeling concepts to IEEE committee members in formal tutorial sessions. Lawrence Associates contract

Provided process and data analysis for a standards-based, manufacturing facility for Printed Circuit Assemblies PCA's. Created process and data models for several systems to facilitate major upgrades and changes to both the manufacturing cells and the PCA data-capture system. Arthur D. no

Designed sections of the data-capture system for the above PCA manufacturing facility. Wrote the process-based functional specification for the system using functional analysis software Design IDEF. This system was used to capture the PCA technical drawing package information and convert it into electronic standard exchange file formats EDIF, IGES and IPC. The manufacturing system was the Rapid Acquisition of Manufactured Parts RAMP project. The data-capture system was the RAMP Product Data Translation System RPTS. Arthur D. no

Developed Excel analysis tools and used them to perform a throughput analysis on the above data-capture system. This analysis yielded a report showing the best areas to apply resources for cost effective improvements to the system. Arthur D. no

Developed a detailed data mapping of the RAMP process-planning data model to the ISO 10303 STEP Application Protocol AP210 Printed Circuit Assembly Product Design Data, information model. South Carolina Research Authority SCRA

Performed business process analysis and re-engineering for the Charleston Naval Shipyard s job-order bidding capability. Analyzed the existing business processes and designed and developed the new computerized bidding system using Oracle Forms on a VAX platform. SCRA

Served as Deputy Chairman of the IGES/PDES Organization's Electrical Applications Committee and 4 years as the SCRA s technical representative and principal data modeler for electronics. SCRA

Developed C programs on a UNIX platform to implement a standard-based file-binding format MIL-STD-1840 capability into the RPTS PWA system. SCRA

Wrote the Software Detailed Design Specification for the RPTS PWA system. SCRA

Developed a Visual Basic program for inventory management for a local manufacturer. This involved designing an Sql Server 6.5 database using the ERwin data modeling tool. Insco Saw
