Introduction

Distributed Computing Systems provides some free and open source software. The products relate to distributed systems and computing, with a focus on AI algorithms and text processing. My research now focuses more on Artificial Intelligence.

I worked for several years on R&D projects at Universities, concerned with information systems, engineering and AI. Since then, I have worked freelance, where I have also written a book and published a number of papers.

Some of my machine learning algorithms have scored benchmark records in the past. I am also developing a new cognitive model. It is at an early implementation stage and offers a different archtiecture to what is currently popular. The research plan would be as described in this paper. I would be prepared to relocate.

Work Experience

 I am available for freelance or contract work. A summary of my work experience is as follows:

• Experienced software engineer, with the design and development of products over the software life-cycle.
• Main programming language is Java, but also C# and Android.
• R&D, software, AI, algorithm, distributed systems.
• Cient-Server (backend) programming, with 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 and Research

The software is listed on the following pages. The two main products are 'licas' and 'textflo'. They can help with retrieving information and are geared more towards an individual or small business. I spent a lot of time writing these and they still offer good possibilities for future projects, but updates will be less frequent now.

 A short summary is as follows:

Licas is a distributed service-based and research 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 with query and search capabilities that is very helpful for the day-to-day management of documents, online links and even tasks.

Research into Artificial Intelligence and distributed systems. This includes a new cognitive model, other ML algorithms, and an earlier chess program.

Category Trees

This is new classifier that may be easier than neural networks to train. An evaluation version of the program can be downloaded from here.

Earthquake Prediction

This one-off project resulted in a method that may be able to predict earthquakes. The open source software can be downloaded from GitHub.

I have moved the ever increasing list to kgwixsites on wixsite.

I have not even had an appointment for cancer.

Latest updates, bug fixes, etc. licas (10/24): 1. Online service updates, with possibility to disable certificate checks. 2. Email service now works with app password and other bug fixes. Textflo (4/25): 1. Updated to modern Windows look and feel. 2. Some bug fixes. 3. New passwords section for easy access. 4. Reference links have been removed. You can use a project instead.

Other Events SAI Computing Conference [Link]. My UAP, only joking. I do have incredible second sight, but it is usually scenes from Hollywood movies.
