Contributions to sequential spaces |
  |
The first paper below initiated the study of sequential spaces in topology. It and its sequel, number 3, contain the fundamental theorems on the subject. The current (1991) Mathematics Subject Index, compiled by the American Mathematical Society, contains the designation, 54D55 Sequential Spaces. The 19935Annual Index of Mathematical Reviews, some thirty years later, mentions nine papers citing 55D55. Number 5 was, in its time, the only joint paper by an American and a Russian. Number 6 spawned the study of a class of spaces now called Franklin-Rajagopalan spaces. |

seventies. The first two papers below were precursors of categorical |
topology. The others contribute directly. |

Number 2 is my first foray into the emerging field of artificial life agents with 5 a followup. Number 3, in progress since Summer of 1991, has spawned a sabbatical leave, a faculty research grant, a new course, and four (soon to be seven) dissertation projects. Numbers 5, 6, 7 and 9 are concerned with software agents. Number 8 is a commentary on a BBS article. |

Additional Information on Outreach |
SERVICE TO THE DEPARTMENT |
I was brought to Memphis State in 1972 as chairman of the then Mathematics Department, and charged with transforming a teaching faculty into a teaching/research faculty in support of a newly approved doctoral program. At that time there was essentially no research activity, and only a small handful of faculty members had ever published anything. |
The task, as I saw it, was to create an environment conducive to research. To that end, a two course teaching load was introduced for faculty committed to research. A technical report series was instituted. Weekly seminars were encouraged. Travel to conferences was funded. Outside colloquium speakers were brought in. A branch library was obtained. Research faculty were recruited to every opening. All this was done with the help and support of the research oriented faculty. I did provide leadership, as well as acting as a buffer between the Department and the administration, who at that time, did not approve of some of these measures. |
The Department has continued all these policies since my chairmanship. Today, almost every faculty member, in addition to taking teaching seriously, is an active researcher. We turn out more than our share of Ph.D.''s, most of whom go on to productive careers. |
Mathematical Sciences |
With the encouragement and support of the mathematics faculty, statisticians and computer scientists were brought into the Department, and its name changed to Mathematical Sciences to reflect this diversification. Again I provided leadership within the Department as well as an interface with the administration. |
Computer Literacy |
The microcomputer revolution hit in the early eighties. I gathered a team, consisting of Charles Brandon, Hugh McHenry, Chip Ordman, Austin Smith and myself, to design and implement a broad based, conceptually oriented, hands-on, liberal arts, computer literacy course. A report on the course, by me, appeared in the Proceedings of the 1982 National Educational Computing Conference. (A copy is enclosed.) We raised $135,000 externally to equip Memphis States'' first microcomputer lab. The course and the lab were among the first in the world. PC Magazine published my article describing both in 1982. (A copy is enclosed.) A short article by me with pictures describing the lab also appeared in Computer Instructor. (A copy is enclosed.) The course flourished and evolved into out present COMP 1200, which is somewhat watered down to meet State requirements. |
  |
Computer Science Ph.D. |
Together with Max Garzon and Chip Ordman, I designed and implemented a doctoral concentration in computer science. After some seven years we have more than a dozen students enrolled. Two have been graduated and others should begin to finish each academic year. The quality seems high. |
Software Development Program |
In response to community needs, I''ve written a proposal for bachelors and masters degree programs in software development, and have spearheaded an effort to gather support within the University. The jury''s still out on this one. |
Electronic Commerce Committee |
During 1997-8 I worked on a joint CS and Business committee to develop an interdisciplinary electronic commerce masters degree program. |
Graduate Programs Committee |
Served as computer science''s representitive on the graduate program committee for about 10 years. Duties include all CS admissions, GA''s and other awards. |
SERVICE TO THE college OF ARTS AND SCIENCES |
Aside from chairing one of its departments for too many years, the only specifically College directed service I recall is having served on the College Tenure and Promotion Committee on two occasions, on the Meritorious Faculty Award Comittee three times, on the Development Leaves committee once, and on the College Graduate Council once. During 1996-7 I''m again serving on the College Graduate Council, and on the Distinguished Research Award Committee. |
SERVICE TO THE university |
Computer Literacy for Faculty |
The computer literacy course mentioned above was adapted by Hugh McHenry and myself to in-service training for faculty. With the support of Jerry Boone, then V. P. for Academic Affairs, this training was made available to faculty University wide with McHenry and myself as instructors. Over 500 faculty and staff attended the sessions in groups of about twenty. The results, quite positive, were reported in Collegiate Microcomputer in 1986. (A copy is enclosed.) |
Institute for Intelligent Systems |
Organized by Art Graesser, Terry Horgan and myself, the Institute had been a focal point of interdisciplinary activity for the University for the past decade. Devoted to the study of complex systems, particularly to Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science, and Neural Networks, the Institute seminars attract faculty and students from Psychology, Philosophy, Physics, Mathematical Sciences, Accounting, MISDS, and Electrical Engineering, as well as professionals from UT Memphis and the surrounding community. The interdisciplinary contacts the Institute provides have benefited faculty, postdocs, graduate students, and even a few undergraduates. Joint research across departmental lines resulted. The existence of the contacts provided by the Institute has helped to attract at least two new faculty members to Memphis. |
AT&T Equipment Grant |
Several years back I, along with John Randolph, wrote a proposal resulting in a $750,000 computing equipment grant from AT&T. The equipment was shared between Mathematical Sciences and Electrical Engineering. |
University College |
For several years I served on the advisory committee for the University College and supervised several of their students. |
Academic Computer Users Advisory Committee |
For several years I served on ACUAC, advising the administration on computing matters from the academic side. Recently I served on a subcommittee of ACUAC that led the way to the student Technology Access Fee that''s providing up-to-date equipment all over campus. |
INSIGHT Series Committee |
For several years (1995-97) I served on the committee that founded and organized this speaker series. It''s been quite successful. |
Marcus Orr Speaker Series Committee |
Servered for several years (1996-98) on this committe that brings in speakers of interest to faculty. |
Eminent Faculty Award Committee |
By virtue of having won the award in May of 1997, I''ve served on the selection committee in 1997-8 and will chair it the following year. |
INTERNET2 Committee |
During 1997-98 I chaired an ad hoc committee that recommended that the university join the INTERNET2 initiative. |
