Summary of Interests
Fox has worked in a variety of applied computer science fields with his work
on computational physics evolving into contributions to parallel computing
initially involving the hypercube architecture. He has worked on the computing
issues in several application areas - currently focusing on Earthquake
Science. Over the last three years, his major activity has been the use of
Object Web technologies to build collaboration systems and their application
in an integrated approach to synchronous and asynchronous distance education.
He has led activities to develop prototype high performance Java and Fortran
compilers and their runtime support. His research group has pioneered use of
CORBA and Java for both collaboration and distributed computing. He helped set
up the Java Grande forum to encourage use of Java in large-scale computations.
Fox is a proponent for the development of computational science and its follow
on "Internetics" as an academic discipline and a scientific method. While at
Caltech, he founded with John Hopfield, Carver Mead, and David Van Essen the
Computation and Neural Systems Interdisciplinary program
