Research

MSc Topic and Introduction:

I am in the second year of a two year MSc at Durham University. The title of my thesis (hopefully) will be Process Improvement with Reuse in Web Development. It will, in theory, be completed in September 2002.

This will be based on a case study company, The Council for the Advancement of Communication with Deaf People (CACDP).

My Thesis is closely linked with the project I am working on which is described further in the Work Section.

See my bibliography.
