Other research interests

NGS: An application layer network game simulator.

NGS sourceforge website

NGS is an application layer simulator specifically tailored for simulating new network game architectures. The goal is to provide a flexible simulation framework that can be used to compare and evaluate the myriad of new network gaming architectures such as VON, SimMud, FreeMMG, Solipsis, etc.

Expand

Expand sourceforge website

The Expand system aims to provide a complete computing environment for people with physical disabilities. Typical computing environments require precise movement of hand muscles to use mice and keyboards. For people with limited muscle control, using a computer can be difficult or impossible. Expand solves this Human Computer Interface (HCI) issue through a single button interface combined with a customized graphical desktop system. It provides a practical and easy to use interface to emulate typical mouse and keyboard style input.

Triple S Science Fair

Professor Geoff West and I attend most Triple S science fairs representing Curtin University Department of Computing. We have several demonstrations and usually have many free Ubuntu Linux CDs to give away.
