Software Development

Photo of Ian at MM

I'm a software engineer, consultant and researcher, specialising in object-oriented development, modelling and metadata. I lead software development in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) for Mott MacDonald.

CORBA in ITS has been a speciality, for example I was author of ISO TR 24532 "Using CORBA in ITS", and I chaired the OMG Transportation Task Force and Highways Working Group from 2001-2003. These years saw an increase in focus on UML, XML Schema and metadata manipulation. A current example of my work in the metadata area is the ITS Metadata Registry at www.itsregistry.org.uk. Another speciality is implementing traffic modelling software; an example is the modelling engine for the DfT's DIADEM.
