Research and Instructional Interests
Software Engineering (SE) is the sub-field of computer science that attracts most of my attention. In SE, we seek to invent and evaluate methods for producing quality software in less time at lower costs. My Ph.D. dissertation, Computer Program Verification: Improvements for Human Reasoning (1995) (abstract) (available in its original form as a [PDF: 1.28 Mb] file or as a two-sided, single-spaced technical report in [PDF Directory - 7 files]), established a new way of proving the correctness of programs with respect to their specifications. This new way is pedagogically better than previous methods. I continue to collaborate with the Reusable Software Research Group (RSRG) of the Computer Science and Engineering Department of The Ohio State University. I maintain a strong interest in RSRG's development discipline and language, called RESOLVE, REusable SOftware Language with Verifiability and Efficiency.I enjoy introducing beginning programmers to the wonders in the art and science of computer programming. I also like leading programmers into the rich and satisfying realm of the theoretical foundations of computer science.

Contact Information
Like many people, due to multiple affiliations, I have several email addresses. However, I always keep them funneling to the same location where I read them. I intend for the address "w dot heym at ieee dot org" to follow me throughout my lifetime. Hence, please contact me there. Currently, you may also reach me through my office telephone at (614)247-6803. My office is room 418C of Baker Systems Engineering. Click here for my schedule.
