My research in recent years has been in the area of distributed systems with particular emphasis on hardware based fault-tolerance. Transputer systems have been used because their inherently parallel nature makes the replication necessary for hardware redundancy and reconfiguration an attractive proposition. VLSI design has formed an important strand of this work, much of which has been done in collaboration with Martin Colley .
Current activities focus on distributed simulation.
One collaborative project involving a small group of colleagues and also teams at other universities is just starting. It will investigate ways of using a simulation framework combined with prototype hardware subsystems to evaluate new designs for robotic submersibles.
