Retired From UVic My last day of work as a UVic professor was on 30 June 2016. No students are being accepted for supervision. My current title is now Professor Emeritus. I still have an office at the university, but you will find me there at most one day per week. The best way to contact me is via email. However you can also leave messages on the office phone.
Former Research Interests Compilers and programming language implementation, especially Java implementation. Lossless data compression. An older research interest was string searching algorithms. There is an on-line animation of the Horspool string searching algorithm. (A simplification to the Boyer-Moore algorithm.)
ARMSim# ARMSim# version 2.1 Note that ARMSim# is a .NET program that can be run on Linux or Mac OS X if the Mono implementation of the .NET runtime is installed. (The Windows version supports dynamically placed docking windows whereas all windows are statically placed when run under Mono.)
