I'm currently on sabbatical from University and am writing a book on the history of computing with a working title of "The Universal Tool". My blog http://universal-tool.blogspot.com/ provides details of the book and the writing process.
I have worked for over 20 years in Artificial Intelligence with a focus on the application of knowledge and experience (particularly in the form of cases) to applied problems in industry. The goal is to make computer systems more intelligent and problem solving expertise more widely available. |
Influences/Inspirations:
Alan Turing
Current Projects:
I am writing the history (and future) of computing called "The Universal Tool." As Alan Turing realised computers are unlike other inventions in that they are universal machines capable of performing any task we can program in.
The book is supported by my blog http://universal-tool.blogspot.com/
