Summary

After spells in Arts and Social Science, I joined Computer Science in 1990, working as an academic software engineer at York, and more recently Keele and Hull. My current interests are in fit-for-purpose simulation: notably software engineering (applications of model driven engineering) and assurance/fitness for purpose arguments.

I have many years' experience teaching teamwork and software engineering, as well as various aspects of modelling, project management, and some work on complex systems.

Research interests

Model driven engineering and complex systems; fitness for purpose; practical approaches to anything complex.

Postgraduate supervision

Model driven engineering, notably for agent simulation (see Zschaler and Polack, SLE, 2019).

Uncertainty in simulation.

Fitness for purpose in complex systems models/simulations.

Anything where the PGR knows the subject well enough only need guidance on doing a PhD, not technical input.
