Academic Papers
Below are some of the papers that may have more lasting value than the single semester they were produced in.
- Master's Thesis, Fall 2004
- The title of the paper is Implications of Programming
Language Selection On the Construction of Secure Software
Systems. The paper takes five programming
languages and analyzes how several well-known programming
errors manifest, or fail to manifest, themselves in
each. Includes conclusions and suggestions for further
research. The above link takes you to a page with the abstract and links to the paper and presentation.
- Advanced Topics in Database Systems, Spring 2004
- For this course, I wrote a paper on Java Data Objects (JDO) with the title Implications of Java Data Objects for Database Application Architectures. I considered it a practice run at the techniques and skills needed to do the final graduate paper as it required a proposal, a presentation, along with the paper. The annotated bibliography is probably of more interest than the paper itself. I researched performance issues surrounding databases accessed using Java technologies. (Something actually more relevant to what I'm doing now than my Masters paper.)
Artifacts for much of the work I did at LMU can also be found on my personal site.
