Project manager for Grid Computing Advanced Research Project.
IRC (Inter-disciplined Research Council) CoAKTinG Project
(Collaborative Advanced Knowledge Technologies in the Grid): I work
independently as well as collaboratively with AKT participants.
IRC (Inter-disciplined Research Council) AKT (Advanced Knowledge
Technologies) Project: I work independently as well as collaboratively
with AKT participants. My main research area is to formalise and provide
formal support for enterprise modelling methods within the context of
organisation and knowledge management.
Independent work as a first supervisor for MSc project, and as a co- and
2nd supervisor for PhD students.
Short commercial course/workshop: I design and run applied AI
techniques courses and workshops for commercial clients. The main areas
are Case-Based Reasoning, Business Process Modelling, Knowledge
Engineering, Management and Ontology.
Technology Transfer Project for industry: I lead Technology Transfer
Project for a commercial client in the area of rich process representation,
business process modelling and workflow system.
Air Force Operation Enterprise Modelling Project: I work independently to
develop Multiple Perspective Enterprise Models as a part of six teams.
During the project, I work independently to create a Meta-Model, a BSDM
Business Model, an interaction model using RAC Diagram, and several
models using UML. I also developed a tool (KBST-EM) that is similar to
the tool built during my PhD project to support my model building
activities. KBST-EM is capable of automatic representing knowledge from
the model and translating components between different methods.

PhD research project on the formalisation and use of business models: I
have developed a formal method that can be used to support a business
modelling method (IBM's BSDM). Based on this formal method, I have
also developed a framework and a knowledge based tool (KBST-BM) to
support the development lifecycle for building business models. The tool
supports the storage, navigation and retrieval of business models.
It automatically represents knowledge and provides intelligent inferencing
ability to explicitly display implications of a business model. Based on the
formal method, the tool is able to perform automatic verification and
validation on models with the appropriate error correction advice. The
dynamic aspects of a business model can be displayed and forecasted
using the simulation capability of the tool; the model building knowledge
can be stored in an internal library and reused to provide automatic model
building guidance based on CBR techniques. The development of the
formal method and the tool is entirely my own effort.
Research project: participating in The Enterprise Project aimed at building
a knowledge based tool - "Toolset"; tasks involved knowledge acquisition
from clients, model building using an adapted IDEF3 method and the
evaluation of "Toolset". Other participants of the project were members of
AIAI, IBM, Unilever, and Lloyd's Register.
Commercial project: participant in a Reverse Engineering Project, led by
IBM; I independently carried out tasks such as reverse engineering a
system written in C++ into the object-oriented modelling language OMT
and Booch; and a comparison of OO modelling tools: Rational Rose and
Paradigm Plus.
Programming languages: Prolog, Clips, Lisp, SQL, C, C++, Pascal, Basic,
Maple, COBOL.
Database systems: Ingres, ObjectStore.
Machine platforms: Unix (Sun Workstation), Microsoft Windows, Mac
OS.

Career Interests: since I have a combinational knowledge and experiences in
business, computer science and artificial intelligence, I will be interested in
exploring a route where I can take full advantage of this background. I am
most interested in work in the areas of grid computing, knowledge
management and business (process) modelling where AI techniques may
contribute to. Such techniques are, e.g., logical and enterprise modelling
methods, CBR, learning and other techniques.
While I like to work in a team, I also enjoy taking responsibility for my own
tasks. When I run a commercial project, work as a lecture, supervisor for MSc
and PhD student projects, a tutor for University courses and as a teacher for
Chinese school, I acquired and enhanced my communication and leadership
skills. I am well-organised and can manage complicated problems efficiently,
an asset which has been most useful whenever I needed to understand and
handle novel problems and complex subjects. It has been particularly useful
during my studies, which required me to manage the two very different
disciplines of business and computing studies. I enjoy work that requires
initiative and creativity. I embrace everyone involved with enthusiasm and am


always committed to the work as much as possible in order to make a better
contribution.
I grew up in Taiwan and lived in USA for 3 years. I have now lived in the UK
for over 15 years. I have enjoyed myself and made friends during my stay in
different countries. These international experiences have enabled myself to be
an individual who is dynamic and can adapt to different environments quickly.
During my spare time, I enjoy gardening, travelling, swimming, jogging,
playing badminton, film watching, reading and cooking.
