Dr. Braude teaches software design, machine learning, and algorithms. His six books include Software Engineering: Modern Approaches, 2nd ed. (Wiley, 2010)\u2014with Michael Bernstein\u2014and Software Design: From Programming to Architecture (Wiley, 2003), and a number have been translated into multiple languages. Braude has many years of experience as a researcher, software engineer, and senior R&D manager in industry and government. He has served as technology adviser to corporations such as Philips, Lockheed, Lucent, and MITRE Corporation.<\/p>\n

\nA paper, \u201cGeneralizing Morley\u2019s and Other Theorems with Automated Realization,\u201d by my student (and recent MSCS graduate)\u00a0Satbek Abdyldayev and myself, appeared in\u00a0<\/span>April\u2019s issue<\/a>\u00a0of the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Journal of Automated Reasoning<\/em>. Morley\u2019s Theorem is a statement about triangle trisectors that came to my attention years ago via the writing of computer scientist Edsgar Dijkstra, and in this 23-page paper we describe the theory as well as our GEOPAR\u00a0program, which checks the validity of various proposed theorems in plane geometry.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThe most common form of software development, agile, does not readily accommodate the use of design tools. That\u2019s the issue PREXEL addresses, and master\u2019s graduates Chih-Chieh Liang and Nitish Gaddam are now working with me on the next generation of PREXEL.<\/p>\n

\nBefore coming to BU, I worked in applying AI to complex systems and was also involved in software reliability. The resulting perspectives influence my research and teaching. In advanced classes, I emphasize the development of individual projects, so students have the opportunity to apply concepts as they learn them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nWhat advice do you have for new students?<\/h4>\n
