Hi! I'm Ron van Hoof shown here with my wife Lisa.
A little bit about myself. I studied computer science
for four years at the Hogeschool West-Brabant and graduated in September
1993. During that period I did a number of internships which varied from
doing a requirements study for a production planning system to
integrating databases for a cable registration system. After receiving
my B.S. degree I studied Knowledge Engineering at the Centre of
Excellence, CIBIT. I graduated in December 1994 and received my Masters
degree. During that period I did an internship at NYNEX, now Bell
Atlantic, where I was responsible for designing and implementing a CASE
tool with automatic code generation for domain modeling.
Currently I work for Caelum Research Corporation at NASA
Ames Research Center where my work involves the development of a
multi-agent modeling language and simulation environment for simulating
work practice (BRAHMS). Brahms is a data driven (forward chaining) discrete event simulation environment
with future extensions for the real-time execution of intelligent agents.
My responsibilities with regards to the Brahms project are development
lead, system architect and software engineer responsible for the Brahms
language, Brahms virtual machine, Brahms server and the integration of
the Brahms components. All new Brahms components are implemented in
Java. Check out my resume for more of the work
that I've done.
