Texas Agricultural Experiment Station

Farm Resource Management DSS

• Provided leadership, technical expertise and implementation on a Decision Support System for PCs funded by Deere & Company and the Institute of Energy and Mineral Resources for a farm machinery selection, management and cost evaluation.
• Developed and integrated QuickBASIC, Macro Assembler and Turbo PROLOG modules.
• Database management was implemented using Random Access flat files.
• QuickBASIC serveed as the shell, providing data access, graphical user interface, I/O, engineering and graphics libraries, and module integration.
• Macro Assembler was used to develop a windowing system.
• Turbo PROLOG was used as the expert system inference engine.
• Optimal resource configuration and scheduling reports were generated for output.

Electronic Balance Control

• In charge of a project for Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, for the development of an electronic balance interface used in data collection and control, via an RS-232C interface.
• The communications and user interface program was developed originally in QuickBASIC 4 and was later upgraded to Visual Basic 1 for DOS.

Prototype DAC System

• Developed a prototype data acquisition and control system.
• Used a Motorola M68010 CPU and corresponding peripheerals
• Operating system and BIOS were developed and programmed in Assembler, and burned into EEPROM.

ENERCON Project

• Provided sooftware consulting services for ENERCON to an agricultural mechanization and research project for the government of Pakistan.
• Developed complete tractor performance data acquisition and engineering analysis program, using QuickBASIC 4.
• Results were analyzed and displayed graphically.
