Consulted or mentored 30 projects on software (SW) development issues, inc. SW architecture, object-oriented design & implementationDeveloped courses & taught system engineering (SE) & SE management since 2010, SW architecture since 2003, UML since 1995, OOA & OOD since 1986 -- 50 projects for 35 clientsDeveloped courses & taught 150 public & private Ada courses since 1986 & 20 private C++ courses since 1995Best Paper award, Tools & Methods track, Joint Meeting of Space Systems Cost Analysis Group (SSCAG), Society for Cost Analysis & Forecasting (SCAF) & the European Aerospace Cost Engineering (EACE), for “Cost Estimation for Secure Software & Systems” paper (with Barry Boehm)Co–authored portions of architecture analysis & design language (AADL) for real–time safety–critical systems, a standard of Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). Developed a draft UML profileConsulted on SW architecture & costing on SEA Enterprise Open Architecture Project Red Team for U.S. Navy. Team identified critical issue that would have led to failure, potential loss of billions of dollarsConsulted on Patriot Missile upgrade to Ada for U.S. Army Aviation & Missile Command. Credited by Raytheon for substantially simplifying upgrade by determining new features of proposed standard could be used to preserve a battle–tested concurrency model.Solved a company’s problem over lunch to discuss hiring to mentor project, saving them hundreds of thousands of dollars in implementation costs & consulting fees.Consulted on definition of Semiconductor Manufacturing Association’s standard process & notation for Computer Integrated Semiconductor Manufacturing.Developed methods & processes for SW engineering, including the Colbert OOSD, which was used by NASA Langley Research Center for a SW Engineering Process Guide & used by 30 other projects, all successfully deliveredLed research at USC Center for SW & Systems Engineering on costing secure systems for U.S. FAA & Aerospace Corp.
