Sandy has spent nearly thirty years in IT, including 8 years as an independent
consultant, 5 years with Sema Group, 2 years with CACI and 15 years in the Royal
Navy. Technical experience encompasses Business and Enterprise Modelling, Open
Systems Standardisation, IT Strategy and Data Analysis, Software Engineering,
and Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence (C3I) Systems.
For the past 9 years Sandy has been increasingly involved in 2 major
international standardization activities: ISO’s RM-ODP, and OMG’s UML and CORBA
related standards. He was the Convener of ISO/JTC1/SC7/WG17, which developed the
RM-ODP enterprise language (IS 15414 | ITU-T X.911), and is currently one of the
two joint editors of the new UML for ODP standard (IS 19793 | ITU-T X.906). He
is a contributor to the OMG activity revising the OMA Guide, particularly in
developing the new Model Driven Architecture (MDA), and was the editor for the
final adopted specification for UML Profiles for EDOC.
Recently, Sandy has been working with the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) to apply
RM-ODP Enterprise Modeling concepts to the MOD business processes, as part of a
major initiative to modernize the way MOD procures and manages information
systems. He has also been helping a major telecoms company with the business
processes necessary to successfully run a 24x7 web-hosting operation.
He has also been heavily involved in the
COMBINE
Project, with specific responsibilities for defining the automated development
processes and metamodels of a “Business
Component
Centre”.
Sandy’s main pre-occupation during the 90% of his time not spent thinking about
IT is his beloved
