Introduction

Distributed Computing Systems provides free and open source software. The products relate to distributed systems and computing, with a focus on AI algorithms. Text processing and search are also central themes.

My background is University-based, where I worked for several years, both as a software engineer and as a researcher. Since then, I have written a book in the areas of Artificial Intelligence, the Internet and SOA, and published a number of papers that describe my own cognitive model.

I am currently available for freelance work in programming, research, writing, or consultancy. I would also be interested in any sources of funding and/or collaboration.

Work Experience

A summary of my work experience is as follows:

• Experienced software engineer, with the design and development of products over the whole software life-cycle.
• Main programming languages are Java and C#, with some web-based and mobile knowledge.
• Algorithm development, particularly for Artificial Intelligence and distributed systems. Also test programs.
• Server-side programming and Windows-based GUI development.
• With an academic background, I am strong in research and technical writing, where my research interests include Artificial Intelligence (autonomous, agent-based, cognitive or neural systems), heuristics, search or query processes and distributed information systems.

Software Products

The software is listed on the following pages. The first two products are what I use to sort my daily routine. They can save a lot of time and are geared more towards an individual or small business. A short summary is as follows:

Licas is a distributed service-based and AI framework, with many useful features for building your own system. There is also a set of free business applications.

Textflo is a text processing system that also uses AI and is very helpful for the day-to-day management of documents, online links and even tasks.

Code Analyzer can be used to create enhanced metadata descriptions.

Research includes artificial intelligence models, classifiers and a chess program.

Updates

Latest updates, bug fixes, etc. licas (2/20): 1. Service updates - Sparql Query now allows nested Select clauses. 2. Information and Messenger service updates. 3. Other bug fixes. Textflo (10/19): 1. The full version is now free. 2. File now released after loading, for external use. 3. Organiser Reference Note can now be RTF formatted. Code Analyzer (3/18): 1. Only the full version as unlikely to be updated. 2. Licas script removed. May be used again in a different program. Note: Any file path is stored simply as a text description and so it can be automatically changed in any config file. Do a backup first.

Other Information I am taking a short break from the software, but I hope to resume developing code after that. Cognitive algorithm AI project by Boris Kazachenko. IEEE SDN Software Defined Networks Special Interest Group. SAI'20 SAI Computing Conference.
