2006, called by President Evo Morales of Bolivia,
who called the meeting of popular
organizations and citizens of Latin America and the Caribbean

to attend a plenary meeting of the IP-Racine project in Venice that
day, my
co-author Allin Cottrell addressed the meeting instead.
Invited
to address conference at Centro Miranda Caracas, Oct 23rd

computers and economic planning. Had to turn this down because of
IP-Racine
project.

Industrial Collaboration
My work on video compression
was utilised by Orange PLC
in their videophone, and my video compression
patents were the basis for
Glasgow startup company Essential Viewing which continues to trade.
My work on database
compression was the basis for
the Glasgow based startup company Planning Sciences International. This
firm traded
for about 4 years before running
into financial dificulties.
I have
acted as an expert witness for IBM and Freshfields
Bruckhaus Deringer in two legal cases relating to the
hardware design of personal computers.
I have
collaborated with Pepper's Ghost Ltd on the use of real time capture in
3D
computer animation.
I have
acted as a consultant to Iredeto Access and De La Rue
on the optimal ordering of banknotes in bank auto-teller machines.
I have
consulted with Highland Geology Ltd on improved methods for the
visualisation
of potentially oil bearing strata from echo soundings.
I
collaborated with Quintix formerly DERA on the
development and delivery of a real time 3D capture system under a

• Empirical studies of sectoral price formation
in the US, Mexico and the UK.
(1994-now)
• Stochastic/Boltzman models of price
formation.( ongoing)
• Hilbert Space models of price formation. (ongoing)
• Relationship between algorithmic information theory and economics.
(ongoing)
• Investigations into the correlation between capital composition and
profitability of industrial sectors in the US
and UK
economies. (ongoing)
• Theory of productive and unproductive labour.
• Theory of Economic Planning, currently one of the leading world
theorists in this area. (1988-now)
Cardiac
Imaging
• Work in conjunction with Professors Dargie and
Eliott and the Cardiac MRI unit at the Western
Infirmary Glasgow. (2003..2005)
• Technique developed to give an animated cardiac image showing areas
of
disease.
• Diagnostically useful in determining need for by-pass surgery.
• World first for this type of imagery.
• Technique patented by University
of Glasgow.
COMPUTER SCIENCE RESEARCH
DATA
Compression
• Development
of data compression system for digital cinema under the EU funded
IP-RACINE
project (ongoing).
• Initiated
a project funded under Scottish Enterprise Proof of Concept
(2002..2004) to provide compression technology for confocal microscopy.
Work done in collaboration with the
Biology Department. This developed technique which provides 100 to 1
compression of stacks of microscope images. Archiving and sharing such
images
is a major problem. This technique makes them distributable over the
web. Our
publications show that this achieves best quality of any currently
known
technique.
• Led
development of the Strathclyde Compression Transform (SCT), a low
bandwidth
video compression system suitable for video-telephony or Internet TV
broadcasting. Work funded by Orange PLC and Acorn computers to the sum
of over
�200,000. Patented and licensed to Orange
and
Essential Viewing Ltd. Provided basis for the 2002 launched Orange
Video Phone,
this was the first mobile videophone developed outside of Japan.
(1995-2000)
• Design
of the Hibase compressed relational database system.
Patented and licensed to Gentia software and other
database companies. (1994-1997)
• Optimal
rate control strategies for compressed video. (1998)
3 DIMENSIONAL TELEVISION
• 3D
TV Studio Developed under SHEFC Michelangelo grant. 24 Video Cameras
along with
8 computers build 3D moving models of actors using stereo-vision
techniques. Used in 3 follow on research grants in association with
film/TV industry. (2000-2002)
• Development
of 3D face conforming software to allow transfer of facial expressions
between
characters, this provided the basis for several follow on projects in
the
Computer Vision and Graphics Lab.(1999)
• Research
into the use of MMX parallelism for fast stereo image matching.(2000)
GRID
COMPUTING
• NESC
funded PGP-GRID project (2004..2005) in collaboration
with Edinburgh
Parallel Computer Center
and Peppers Ghost Ltd a leading computer animation house.
• Application
of Pi-calculus to the GRID.
• Uses

Language Vector-Pascal. Significant speedup achieved compared to
conventional
PC compilers. Eases expression of matrix problems. Book published 2004.
.
(ongoing)
• Led
a project at Memex to develop a compiler chip to
translate Pascal to machine code using hardware. (1987)
• Played
a leading role in the design and implementation of the language
PS-algol. The results of the research have been extensively
reported in the literature. The early work on persistence in
programming
languages led to the emergence of a rapidly developing programming
technique.
The approach has adopted by major international companies, Sun
incorporated it in the Java Spaces system, and many
academic research groups use it. (1979-1982)
Computer
Hardware
• Research
into the use of field programmable gate arrays to solve 3-SAT the
canonical NP
complete problem, (ongoing).
• Development
of synchronisation and flash systems to allow simultaneous capture by
large
number of stroboscopic TV cameras (2000..2003).
• Design
and implementation of the SPACE machine, a high performance process
algebra
parallel computer for discrete event simulation. This work involved
hardware
design using transputers and Field Programmable Gate
Arrays. Machine approximately 1 million times faster than then
available PCs
for lattice gas and traffic simulations. (1991-1994)
• Designed
and implemented two special purpose database computers designed for
free-text
retrieval. (1984-1987)
• Designed
a 128 bit object-object co-processor to be used with SUN workstations
and
worked on the establishment of standards for the interchange of
persistent
data. (1985-1987)
• Developed
the Kaleidoscope windowing colour graphics display processor for high
speed
animation, a floppy disk controller for Sinclair computers that was put
into
production by Centronic Inc. of New Jersey. (1982)
• Collaborated
with ICL and Acorn computers on the application of persistence to
mainframes
and workstations, resulting in Acorn awarding me funds to develop the
Poppy a
64-bit persistent store computer based upon a modified NS32016
processor with
object oriented addressing. (1983-1984)
