Andrew Hughes’s Summary
I'm working on developing a process calculus, TNT, with a novel combination of discrete time and mobility. I am also a keen Free Software developer, having been working on the GNU Classpath project for the last four years.
Andrew Hughes’s Specialties:
Programming: Java, C, Haskell and can get up to speed on pretty much anything else (have dabbled in Perl, Python, C# and even VB).

I'm developing a process calculus called TNT (Typed Nomadic Time). This merges lots of concepts from various sources to create a calculus with synchronisation, discrete time via explicit clocks and both process and location mobility.
