Brian Foote has over twenty-one years of
professional software development experience. He has been working
with Smalltalk and objects since 1985.
 Brian has written numerous papers on Smalltalk, object-oriented design,
software reuse, patterns, and software architecture. He used
Smalltalk to prototype an extensive framework for scientific laboratory
experimental control and data acquisition. He subsequently
implemented this framework, OSIRIS, in C++ and sold it
commercially. It is currently in use at several universities and
research firms.
Brian was also involved in the development of the object-oriented
enterprise frameworks developed at the Illinois Department of Public
Health. His current research, on using objects to build better
object-oriented languages, is being conducted in Smalltalk.
Brian is the author of over two-dozen published patterns and has been
working with patterns for a long time, writing his first pattern paper
for the first PLoP conference in 1994, and chaired the PLoP'96,
conference on software patterns.
Brian has a B.S. and an M.S in Computer Science from the University of
Illinois. He is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer
Science.
