This is my personal web site. It is primarily a description of current projects or projects I worked on during my tenure at Academic Computing Services at The University of Kansas.

During much of my stay at ACS I managed a group that, for want of a better name, I took to calling the "Distributed Computing support group", which was widely involved in networked computing around campus and even globally.

During the early 90's we built a distributed hypertext system that evolved into the text-based World-Wide Web (WWW) browser, called "Lynx", which was one of the first 4 or 5 World Wide Web browsers ever built and is today available on literally millions of computers worldwide. (For a more complete history of the early devlopment of Lynx see: http://people.cc.ku.edu/~grobe/early-lynx.html.)

My activities over the past 5 years or so are reflected in this list of programs, talks, and web pages presented in roughly reverse chronological order:

• Construction of a Network of Life Science Concepts based on co-occurrence frequencies of MeSH concepts used to annotate the entire corpus of PubMed articles.

• Work with ontologies, the Semantic Web, and Bio2RDF, the "semantic web atlas of postgenomic knowledge"

• A tutorial: Using XML::Twig to read XML (sent by NCBI eUtils)

• A short list of articles describing caBIG

• Results from an attempt to correlate protein-protein interaction (PPI) node degrees with SNP counts

• Programming projects working with genomic data, Protein-Protein Interaction networks, NCBI eUtils, GO data, database access and manipulation (MySQL, DB2, Virtuoso), etc. using Perl, Java, JavaScript, SQL, SparQL, AJAX, JAX-RPC, XML-RPC, etc.

• Posters, tutorials and presentations on a variety of topics (most of which are not covered in links above) such as: using dbSNP via SQL, Jarnac, the NCBI eUtils interface, WSRF, OGSA-DAI, etc.

• Managed, repaired, documented, and expanded the Centralized Life Science Data service at Indiana University

• A tutorial: Using the NCBI eUtilities via CGI

• A prototype system for the simulation of cellular activity
