Welcome to Michael Bett's Homepage

As a Project Scientist at Carnegie Mellon's Interactive Systems Laboratories with a B.S degree from Carnegie Mellon in Applied Mathematics/ Computer Science and over thirteen years experience, I have extensive experience in developing and fielding object oriented systems in a multitude of languages and systems including Java, HTML, C, and C++.  I am currently pursuing my MSIA (Masters of Science Industrial Administration) at Carnegie Mellon's Graduate School of Industrial Administration.  I plan to graduate in October 2000.

My attached resume reflects the key roles I have played in several object oriented knowledge based planning, scheduling, and ECAD products for Carnegie Mellon, Carnegie Group, as well as for Trimeter Technologies, with these highlights:

• I am involved in leading all phases of the design, development, and deployment of new products.
  
• I currently manage Carnegie Mellon's portion of the Genoa project, a crisis identification and mitigation tool being developed for DARPA.  I also am developing an automatic meeting summarizer and browser that allows users to quickly review meetings through a combination of audio, video, and text.
  
• I completed a two year assignment during which I lead a seven member team in the development of a theater level medical evacuation scheduling and planning system for US TRANSCOM. This project, TRAC2ES, was developed using Rumbaugh's OMT in Paradigm Plus and is currently being deployed worldwide.
  
• I also completed a three year assignment during which I lead a four member software development team for one of Carnegie Group's simultaneous engineering projects. This project, MDRC, is currently in use by Ford Motor Company to insure the manufacturability of their printed circuit boards in the design phase.
  
• Prior to joining Carnegie Group, I was employed as a software engineer at Trimeter Technologies where I used my expertise in Boolean algebra, algorithms, artificial intelligence and mathematical skills. Among other projects, I designed and implemented the software used to perform Boolean factorization of a two level PLA.
