I worked full-time at Ford Motor Company, Dearborn, Michigan for 29 years (ending 31 December 2001), where I was an in-house consultant on analytical software used for mathematical modeling, statistical analyses, operations research work, and discrete process simulation.
I am now a senior simulation analyst for PMC [formerly Production Modeling Corporation], Dearborn, Michigan (web site).
Languages I've taught and/or used professionally: Ada, BASIC, C, C++, COBOL, Fortran, GPSS, LISP, Pascal, PL/I, PROLOG, SIMAN, Smalltalk, SNOBOL4, Visual Basic.
Simulation software packages I've taught and/or used professionally: ARENA, AutoMOD, ED (Enterprise Dynamics), ProModel, SIMUL8, SLAM II, WITNESS.

In this connection, I often publish articles in technical newsletters or proceedings of professional conferences. To see a list of some of these recent articles: Articles

On 19 November 1999, Roberto Revetria, a Ph.D. student from the University of Genoa, Italy (visiting the United States for an Industrial Engineering practicum), gave an excellent presentation to the I&MSE 458 class on the engineering education milieu in Italy. He has graciously consented to allow the presentation to be posted here.
