II. CURRENT RESEARCH INTERESTS AND FUTURE PLANS
My current research interests and plans are concerned
with the subject matter of the Internet Applications course I have focused on over
the past decade. My intention is to
write an Open Textbook for this area that will cover the fundamentals of the essential,
ubiquitous, inter-operating computer systems and software underlying 3-tier
applications. The open nature of the proposed
textbook correlates well with the book I wrote with Fadi Deek on Open Source
development, technologies, demographics and policies. That well-received Cambridge University publication
illustrates the kind of integrated approach I intend to accomplish in the proposed
open book for the IT 202 course. The
book will combine a broad investigation of multiple relevant areas with a
technologically precise focus on diverse key issues arising in Internet computer
systems and software. Conceptually speaking,
this subject is one of the most wide-ranging domains in computing, with major
connections to every area of the field from programming, cryptology, data and
media representation, data storage and algorithms to software development and
even Artificial Intelligence and neural networks. Pedagogically and in terms of career
preparation for students it is a domain that fits in especially well with the hands-on,
engineering-oriented students attracted to NJIT. I believe my years of investigation and
instruction on these topics has prepared me uniquely well to develop a
significant, fundamental but pragmatic book for this domain.
Other areas of computing that I maintain an interest in include string processing algorithms, algorithmic graph theory, quantum computing, computational issues in computing, and artificial intelligence.

Note on Role as CS
Associate Chair and Graduate Advisor
During the 1980s-1990ss I personally individually advised many thousands of CS graduate students on their courses of study. The CS department for over 15-20 years during that time period had a graduate enrollment of significantly more than a thousand graduate students every year. I advised these students (probably on the order of at least 15,000 students) as to their appropriate course of studies and their prerequisite (bridge) requirements in my capacity as Associate Chair for CS and Graduate Advisor. Individual advisement was very often a complex process because the NJIT CS department had pioneered the introduction of "Bridge Programs" for entry into the CS Master's program. As a result a diverse population of domestic and international students with backgrounds in a variety of fields were attracted to the program. The determination of their personal bridge requirements was often non-trivial requiring among other things evaluating individuals' professional experience and familiarity with the quality and programs of universities and schools from around the world.
IV. TEACHING ACTIVITIES
A. Courses
Undergraduate
CS 101: Introductory Programming
CS 213: Introduction to Computer Science
CS 251: Computer Organization
CS 331: Assembly Language
CS 332: Principles of Operating Systems
CS 335: Data Structures
CS 341: Logic and Automata Theory
CS 421: Numerical Analysis
CS 461: Simulation
CS 435: Data Structures and Algorithms
CS 490: Software Engineering
CS 491: Senior Project - developed and ran for 5 years an extensive
Capstone Project program.
I Individually mentored large number of students, established
a highly successful departmental project conference - with over
100 students per year that ran successfully for over a decade.
One valuable feature was individually mentoring very large
numbers of students in communication and presentation skills.
I extensively advised individual undergraduate and graduate
Projects as noted below.
IT 202: Internet Applications
IT 302: Advanced Internet Applications
Graduate Courses
CS 610: Data Structures and
Algorithms
CS 665: Algorithmic Graph Theory
CS 668: Parallel Algorithms
CS 700: Master's Project Course
My involvement with individually advising Senior CS computer science projects and CS Master's projects (as distinct from my role in general program of study advising) covered most of the 1980s-1990s. I advised hundreds of students in substantial software development over those years covering a broad array of topics from compiler and interpreter development, to early web design applications with database integration, to creative areas like game and music development tools.
B. Curriculum Development
1. New courses developed
CS 665: Algorithmic Graph Theory - mid 1980s through late 1990s
CS 668: Parallel Algorithms - mid 1980s
IT 202: Internet applications – 2003 to date
IT 302: Advanced Internet Applications – 2011-2015 (approximately)
2. Extensively re-developed
existing courses
CS
213: Introduction to Computer Science – late 1970-early 1980s
CS 251: Computer Organization
CS 332: Principles of Operating Systems – early 1980s to mid1980s
CS 335: Data Structures – early 1980s to mid1980s
CS 461: Simulation – mid 1980s
CS 435: Data Structures and Algorithms – early 1980s to late 1980s
CS 490: Software Engineering – mid 1980s to early 1990s
New
course manual(s) developed
Most
of these courses had extensive supporting materials developed especially the
operating systems course CS 332 in the mid-to-late 1980s. See section V.G in
this document.
More
recently extensive supporting materials were developed for IT 302 Advanced
Internet Applications.
For IT
202 I developed a 300+ page manual around the 2015 period. This was intended to be published but my
desire to expand and deepen my knowledge of the area led to delays that
undermined that timeframe. The manual is
still available as a PDF including a comprehensive index but my entire approach
has matured since then both in terms of topic coverage and pedagogical
approach. This is a key motivation for my developing an up-to-date Open
Textbook in this area.

MOST SIGNIFICANT
CONTRIBUTIONS TO FIELD SINCE LAST SABBATICAL
Cambridge University Press Open Source Book by Deek
and McHugh. This was a well-received
book. Two sample quotes from reviews
are:
From
The British Computer Society
"... A thorough effort... One of the most rigorous treatments of the
social, legal and economic aspects of open source I have come across. I found
the language used in the book accessible and inviting to readers from a range
of backgrounds, both technical and non-technical. I recommend this book for
anyone interested in open source and ideal for readers new to it."
From Magazine of the Society for
Computers and Law
"This book,
therefore, is recommended as a comprehensive introduction to
the free software/open
source ecosystem, and, strangely, by failing to be
strident and
shrill, it manages in many ways to be a much better advocate
than many more
polemical texts. By an honest awareness of their
subject’s shortcomings, the authors,
like Richard Dawkins, advance their cause more effectively."
Andrew Katz
