International consultant specializing in applying object-oriented and agent-based techniques to build process- and event-aware business systems.

As a business architect, some of the domains
in which I have been involved include:
·  Financial Services (straight-through processing, corporate actions processing)
·  Health Care (interoperability of health care information and processing)
·  Manufacturing (business process re-engineering, automated reconciliation)
·  Defense (business semantics including
rules, context, vocabulary)
·  Utilities (reference/data management (MDM) architecture and lifecycle management)
·  Resource management (using agent-based technology and complex adaptive systems).

So, what does all this mean and do for me?

My commercial work involves understanding, communicating, and developing business systems and standards — especially those involving UML, business process, data and meta-data modeling, event-driven approaches (EDA/CEP), applied ontology, multiagent systems (MAS), and complex adaptive systems (CAS). These business systems can and do include software, machines, and people.
