Behrokh Khoshnevis is a professor of Industrial & Systems Engineering and is the Director of Manufacturing Engineering Graduate Program at the University of Southern California (USC). He is active in CAD/CAM, robotics and mechatronics related related research projects that include the development of novel Solid Free Form, or Rapid Prototyping, processes (Contour Crafting and SIS), automated construction of civil structures, development of CAD/CAM systems for biomedical applications (e.g., restorative dentistry, rehabilitation engineering, haptics devices for medical applications), autonomous mobile and modular robots for assembly applications in space, and invention of technologies in the field of oil and gas.
His research in simulation has aimed at creating intelligent simulation tools that can automatically perform many simulation functions that are conventionally performed by human analysts. His textbook, "Discrete Systems Simulation", and his simulation software EZSIM benefit from some aspects of his research in simulation. He routinely conducts lectures and seminars on invention and technology development.
Stacie: @Laird I'm happy with a good IPA whenever the local store has them on the shelf. Here's mud in your eye.

Laird of the wee White Hoose: @Stacie. Years ago I started with lots of cold IRN-BRUs. One day yer dreams might appear on the surface. :-)

Stacie: @Laird of the wee White Hoose Lucky you. I'm stuck drinking Coors rat piss.

Laird of the wee White Hoose: 2/2: Just returned from the early night shift, I'll prefer to prioritize a good grand Dalmore Single Malt. Sláinte.

Laird of the wee White Hoose: 1/2: Collatz has ever never let me down, why no reason to believe it should start right now.

Stacie: Maybe Jon could put Collatz up for sale. List it on Ebay!

Farscape: @SolidAir79 - Your assumptions are not correct - Collatz will be back, just sure when!

Farscape: @SolidAir79 - Jon Sonntag moved out of the Chicago area with the thought of restarted the project after the move.

Laird of the wee White Hoose: If Collatz is declared dead, I have several thousand processed WUs on my PCs to follow up the ladder towards the Pearly Gates

Stacie: Asteroids is one of the few that has arisen from the dead. Usually once on the retired list it is the bottom of the tar pit.
