Richard	Bergersen	10 Irene Street	Burlington	MA	01803	617-273-5546	Software Architect	65790	B.S.	English	SUMMARYPrincipal Software Engineer with over 12 years of experience as an architect and project leader of distributed object-oriented multimedia, artificial intelligence and information systems. I have completed several pieces of major work during that time; the two most recent are:* A distributed information system, Intelligent Integrated Information, which promotes the reusability of information. A





n object-oriented system implemented in Lisp and C, it uses frame- based reasoning to categorize the information sought and conducts searches over a set of heterogeneous databases which are distributed across network nodes and operating system platforms, applying the appropriate query technology to each. The information returned is in a revisable form so it may be integrated into the user's work. All of this is accomplished through a high-level graphical user interface, imp!
lemented in Xt intrinsics and Moti
f. The system is currently being used as an internal product by DEC and is the basis for an organization- wide program to enable the cross-platform reusability of information used in documentation and computer-based training.* A distributed multimedia authoring environment, DECstudio. Using object-oriented design and implemented using C++, RPC and pthreads, it integrates multiple sources and encodings of audio, video, graphics, text and animation in an easily extensible cli- ent-server architecture, inte





roperable across multiple platforms. Through hyper-information links, it provides a non-programmer the ability to compose interactive presentations across media and between units of information. The interface is built from Xlib, Xt intrinsics and Motif.PLATFORMS AND LANGUAGESUnix (Ultrix, OSF/1), VMS, MS-DOSC++, C, Lisp, Pascal, Ops5, CRL, Producer, COBOLX-Windows, MS-Windows1983 - PRESENT DIGITAL EQUIPMENT CORPORATION PRINCIPAL SOFTWARE ENGINEERARCHITECT, LEAD ENGI!
