I work as a Systems and Software Engineer, but have had an active research life
outside academia working in subjects like Philosophy (especially Ontology), Systems
Theory, Systems and Software Engineering Foundations including Architectural Design and
Process Engineering. I have written several books which are made available here in a
printable form.
My original Ph.D. was in Sociology and Philosophy of Science at the London School of
Economics, University of London, UK with a dissertation presented in 1982 on The
Structure of Theoretical Systems in relation to Emergence.
I am currently a student at the University of South Australia, Systems Engineering and
Evaluation Center doing my second Ph.D. on the Foundations of Emergent Science and
Engineering.
