BIO
I'm a computer scientist at NIST where I do CS research to support manufacturing technology. I work in the Manufacturing Systems Integration Division. We take software and data from various vendors, and add glue - mostly in the form of custom software that implements draft standards - to show that it can (and sometimes cannot) work together. What I've been working on the last couple of years:

  • STEP - A family of ISO standards and draft standards for product management. I've been writing lots of tools, most of which are for manipulating EXPRESS models. My publication list shows most of these.

  • Collaboration Tools - Have a look at the NIST Identifier Collaboration Service. It's a free tool that may reduce your costs due to rapidly developing but unmanaged namespaces. [This is presently getting the bulk of my time.]

  • Expect - A tool for automating interactive applications such as telnet, ftp, passwd and hundreds of others. Get Expect to do the work for you where you are typing the same keystrokes everytime you do some task. I believe you'll find the use of Expect quite easy.
