Senior Computer Scientist in the Distributed Computing Infrastructure Group, I was
the project leader and manager of the ASIS (Application Software Installation Server) project which allows every CERN workstation user to install from a central computer all CERN specific tools, TE X environment, GNU tools (Software Engineering, compilers, UNIX replacements, Kernels, etc...), X11 contributed software (different clients, InterViews, window managers, Motif, etc...), and so on ... for their particular type of computer and OS; the software repository and environment is now mirrored to many European HEP centres; evaluation of an extension of the system to Windows NT has begun; further information can be found at the URL: http://cern.ch/asis (now outdated)
giving and organising user support and consultancy for UNIX, Distributed Computing and “Windowing Systems”.
doing some evaluation of tools in the area of software engineering (CASE, debuggers, etc...), distributed computing (ISIS, Camelot, etc...) and user interfaces (GUI, Interface builders, mailers, etc...)
lecturing on system management tools and more generally on computer tools (tk/tcl, perl, emacs, etc...)
participating to the definition of the standard UNIX environment for all CERN workstations.
System Analyst Programmer as a senior member of the Application Software Section of the LEP Control Group, I was responsible of
the analysis and the design of the control system of LEP at the application level: layering of the programs, definition of the error handling and logging system, definition of a “table file system” for data storing, data passing and data sharing, analysis and design of the beam observation monitoring system.
the study and customisation of the remote procedure call environment and the “network compiler”
the development of a methodology for the implementation of the different objects of the system
the software engineering for our group: emacs, TE X, LaTeX, X-Windows, automatic make file maker, version control, etc...
the development support for the team.
ST Data Analysis Scientist: as a member of the Science and Data Software Group of the Space Telescope Coordinating Facility, my duties lie in four different domains:
Communication facility development and management: VAX-net, Kermit, PSI-PAD (X.25), DECNET and TCP/IP. SPAN (Space Physics Analysis Network) management. Security concerns.
The inclusion of some mathematical modules in MIDAS (the Munich Image processing and Data Analysis System) developed at ESO like non–linear least squares optimisation and time series analysis;
Application of Software Engineering package like TOOLPACK (a public domain tool kit for FORTRAN programs). Problems solved were in the domain of reliability, portability, automatic transformation of programs, for instance to migrate from VMS to Unix environment.
Local system management (part time): VAX 8600 cluster and Unix workstations.
Scientist: My main duty was to develop mathematical models and software for Chemists and Engineers: differential equation, least squares, statistics, time series, clustering and principal components analysis. 4th generation software packages like GENSTAT were installed and customised as to their graphical utilities.
Associate Professor: the course that I was giving was titled “Functional Analysis of Information Systems”: analysis of information systems and software development techniques.
System Engineer: I was deputy group leader of the “Distributed System Software” group: LAN (ARCnet) and security.
Associate Professor.
Teaching and Research Assistant: the primary duties were equally divided between:
Teaching advanced undergraduate and graduate exercise courses in Mathematical Analysis, Numerical Analysis (Approximation Theory, Finite Elements Methods, Numerical Integration) and Computer Science (Structured Programming, Pascal, FORTRAN, Algol on Micros and mainframes)
and doing research on Approximation Theory (H-sets, Multivariate Approximation, Exchange Algorithm without Haar’s condition) which led to a portable package in FORTRAN and Pascal.
Manager: Unix (most variants), TOPS 20 (DEC), RMS (Datapoint), VAX/VMS (DEC).
User: NOS (CDC), BS 2000 (Siemens), Windows.
Long Experience: perl, tk/tcl, C, FORTRAN, Pascal, Algol
Average Experience: Python, Java, C++, Basic, lisp
Theoretical Knowledge: ADA, Eiffel,...
Software Engineering: TOOLPACK, Unix development environment, GNU, TE X.
Mathematical Packages: Nag, IMSL, Harwell library, CERNLIB, Mathematica.
