J. McCluskey Current Research: Relations between faults are studied, such as equivalence and dominance. We also consider their dependence on the test procedures as well as on the properties of the circuits themselves. Output and next-state faults are studied separately and certain algorithms are derived. Some research has also been done in the areas of picture encoding, faults in combinational networks and arithmetic codes.

E.E Stanford University 1969 Thesis Topic: Measurement, Performance Evaluation, and Scheduling of Computing systems. Supervisor: Prof. E. J. McCluskey Current Research: My Ph.D. dissertation is concerned with the measurement, analysis, and scheduling of computer systems. The mea- surements are being used to analyze the practical impact of theoretical investigations I have undertaken in the area of drum schedjling. Basically, I have developed an efficient algorithm to optimally schedule the drum. The algorithm is optimal in the sense that it constructs a schedule that will process a set of N requests in the minimal amount of time, taking into account the present position of the drum. It is able to construct this sched ule on the order of N*logN steps, which is comparable to the work required to construct such popular schedules as shortest-access-time-first. Experience: IBM Corporation, Watson Research Center - Summer 1971 Studied the problem of virtual memory management in time-sharing systems. Hewlett Packard Company - Summer 1969 Conducted an investigation to determine the advisability of using high speed buffer (cache) stores in medium to small-scale computers. National Security Agency - Summers of 1967, 1968 Involved in the design of digital hardware systems. University of Michigan Systems Engineering Laboratory - 2/66-4/67 Responsible for the design and implementation of the simulation model of a special purpose time-sharing system . Computation Center - 9/67-4/68 Aided in the hardware design of the data concentrator now in use in the time-sharing system at the University of Michigan. Career Interests: Broadly stated, my interests include the design and analysis of computing systems. I have worked, and con- tinue to have an active interest , in the general areas of computer organization, computer architecture, oper- ating systems, and the performance evaluation and modeling of computing systems.

Stanford 1970 Thesis Topic: Syntax-Directed Decompilation of Object Programs Supervisor: Prof. T. H. Bredt Current Research: Concern here is to construct source-level program phrases from their object-level counterparts. Techniques for formalizing both the syntax (i.e. form or structure) and the semantics (i.e. meaning) is developed which employs the syntax of the source- level target language. The formalized syntax and semantics are largely machine- and language- indepen dent .
