Christopher Brooks

As of June 28, 2018, I no longer work for UC Berkeley and am retired.

		I was the executive director of the TerraSwarm Research Center, (2013-2018), which was addressing the huge potential (and associated risks) of pervasive integration of smart, networked sensors and actuators into our connected world.
		I was the Ptolemy Project Software Manager, 1993? - 2018
		I was the Executive Director of the Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems Center.
		I was the Executive Director of the Center for Hybrid and Embedded Software Systems (CHESS)

How do I reserve a DOP Center Room (540 A/B Cory)? Standalone Downloads outside of Ptolemy Java Ptplot - xgraph replacement in Java Pxgraph - X11 extension to xgraph My Schedule My Bio Ptolemy Classic Notes System Administration pages Commonly accessed pages: CVS Software Development in the Academic Setting Subversion Ptolemy Coding Style Other technical projects in which I was involved: Donald O. Pederson Center Kepler (A Scientific Workflow Management System) Various Projects for Professor Lee Triquetrum (Using the Ptolemy execution engine with an Eclipse RCP front end) Wikipedia Oddly, as of August 6, 2013 on Ohloh, I'm listed as The programmer with the most Tcl, Make, HTML, Shell experience. (I'm not sure if I'm proud of Tcl and Make). #2 with XML #4 with Java #7 with autoconf Ohloh is an open source directory. I have lots of experience because Ptolemy Classic was in SCCS, then RCS, then CVS and the first commit dates from 1989.
