I. Honeywell, Inc., Golden Valley, MN (January 1986 – January 1989)

Principal Research Scientist/Engineer, Computer Sciences Center/Corporate Systems Development Division. I conducted research, development, and technology transfer activities in database security, data management, distributed processing and network file systems, and AI applications in process control systems. In addition to reports and proprietary documents, papers were also published in refereed journals and conferences. Work was carried out for the Air Force and NASA as well as for Honeywell's internal divisions (e.g., Industrial Automation Systems Division, Building Controls Division, and Residential Controls Division). Projects included the design of one of the early high assurance secure database systems Lock Data Views, design and development of a system for integrating heterogeneous data dictionaries, design and development of a Network Operating Systems, development of an Information model for Engineering Information Systems, study of a payoff model for developing components from scratch vs reusing components, design and development of an expert system for industrial control systems, design of an object model for integrating building components, and design of a system for integrating heterogeneous knowledge representations schemes.  After the successful completion of multiple projects including the Design of Lock Data Views (one of the two high assurance secure database systems developed for the USAF), I joined MITRE.
