Dr Caspar Ryan
Hello, I am a Senior Lecturer in the
Contents
Research
My research interests
include: Code Mobility and Mobile Objects (especially Java based); Wireless
Devices and Enterprise Computing; Virtual Communities, and the Empirical Study of
Object-Oriented Development (read my PhD thesis on this topic here).
My main research
involvement is as a CI on the Australian Research Council Discovery Grant “Designing for Efficiency, Reliability, and Maintainability
in Service-Oriented Architectures”. Previously I managed a project Frameworks
for the Development of Next Generation Internet Applications in the Australian Telecommunications
Co-Operative Research Centre ATcrc.
I am currently supervising research students at Honours, Master's and PhD level
and am always looking for keen students to supervise.
