Abstract:

I am currently a MSc student in the University of Edinburgh taking Computer Science. My area of interest includes the following: networking (hardware, system administration and management, ATM, ISDN), graphics, mechanical engineering (CIM, robotics), multiprocessors hardware & software and distributed system. I hope to apply all or most of my above interests and knowledge in areas that requires cross discipline applications.

Presently, I am doing my research in the _Abstract_Virtual_Environment_ Simulator_. This is an Artificial Intelligence faculty-linked project which involves visualisation of the workspace of a robotic arm in 3D using OpenGL under SGI Irix or SUN Solaris. I intend to port it over to NT once my project is completed. I am also looking into linking SUN Solaris/SGI Irix with NT in terms of data passing.

I believe the workshop would help me tremendously to gain knowledge in the following areas using NT which I intend to work on: large scale databases and real-time multithreading processes in CIM, multimedia in NT using ISDN or ATM, expansion of multiprocessor processing on NT and improvement in management of NT through visualisation and graphical representation.
