• AXLE, an architecture for XML-based delivery of learning materials.
• AlgAE - an algorithm animation engine for computer science instruction.
• Reliability Growth During Non-Representative Testing
• Knowledge-Based Refinement During Testing
• Perturbation Testing

Besides the autoharp, above, I also play guitar and hammer dulcimer.
