Gordon Morrison’s Summary

Gordon Morrison has used expert knowledge of compiler design techniques and data structures to produce a beautifully elegant method to write computer programs. His book is intriguing and hard to put down once started. He shows how software is simplified when control and data are fully separated. He demonstrates the clarity of logic when conditions of data are removed from the implementation. This forces the programmer to think about the logic of the solution instead of special exceptions. And he proves that programs so written are more efficient than modern programming alternatives and are, in fact, specifications with 100% traceability and observability. I found myself thinking how straightforward implementing the control solution in programmable logic would be while the data half would easily be handled in external RAM. The concepts Gordon Morrison explains will surely become commonplace.

In case you need credentials, I am a senior member of the IEEE, hold multiple engineering degrees, and hold several patents. My current title is Director of Global Technical Marketing for Premier Farnell. I was previously a Senior Engineering Manager at Harris Corporation.

Gordon Morrison’s Experience

• Author "Breaking the Time Barrier", Inventor "Multi-Core" and "Hyper-Threading" technology

  V.S. Merlot, Inc.

  (Computer Software industry)

  July 1995 — Present (14 years 5 months)

  Author "Breaking the Time Barrier" about how the user to create a model and to manufacture executable code in a simple paradigm. Using COSA to eliminates spaghetti code and provide exceptional trace capabilities the reduce logic debugging costs. This new paradigm puts the focus on the temporal engineering of software to achieve a much higher level of software quality.

  "Breaking the Time Barrier, The Temporal Engineering of Software"
  INVENTION: Coherent Object System Architecture (COSA)
  COSA is architected to reduce the complexities of the way computers are used. COSA allows the user to produce requirements - process model, data model, object model, project management, application management, AND the manufacture of executable code in the same simple paradigm. The COSA approach can replace over eighty different applications. COSA eliminates spaghetti code and provides exceptional trace capabilities that reduce the costs of debugging. This new paradigm returns control to management and the end users.
  #6,345,387 Patent Issued February 5th 2002, Cited in 7 other Patents!
  LITIGATION EXPERIENCE
  With over 400 hours of deposition experience defending my patents against IBM, Motorola, Apple Computer, Texas Instruments, Phillips AG, Intel, and others. Over 3,000 pages of deposition testimony.
  Testified as a fact witness before the International Trade Commission in patent litigation.
  Consulted to HP and Intel in their litigation with Intergraph. I proved Intergraph's patent to be inoperable.
  INVENTION: Technology similar to Java platform
  Implemented a platform & machine independent serial and parallel virtual machine, February 1990. Registered with the Patent and Trademark Office (1990). Fully Parallel Implementation of Virtual Machine was Demonstrated in July 1990 at Venture Capital Meeting with the Mayfield Fund
