Bill's Main Areas of Professional Interest:
Originally, my primary area of interest was the application of electronic circuitry to problems of data acquisition, signal processing, and the control of systems and processes. In the more recent years, however, the emergence of analog and digital integrated circuits and particularly the integrated circuit microprocessor has had a profound effect on the possibilities and complexities of feasible circuit systems. As a result, professional interests are divided among:

• The application of microprocessor-based systems to problems with requirements for responses within a real-time budget.
• The design of analog and digital circuitry necessary to connect or interface microprocessor-based systems to other system components or to signals from the outside world.
• The application of processor-to-processor communication links (networks) as a means to distribute the workload of a multiprocessor system. Networking is viewed as a means both to increase computational performance and to improve reliability through redundancy and self-checking.
• The application of high level programming languages both to the programming of real-time systems and to the modeling, simulation and analysis of such systems. (Activities in this area prior to 1990 focused primarily on the Ada language. Since that time, the focus has been on the C and C++ languages.)
