Software Defects, Scientific Computation and the Scientific Method
Invited talk at CERN, Geneva, 14th December. An extension of the paper I gave at ICALEPCS 2011 with more data. The linearity in the power-law behaviour predicted in the 2010 paper now holds to a very...
View ArticleSome comments on development testing
An article I wrote for Eddie Bishop, editor of the widely read Professional Tester magazine. It is basically some comments about development testing. For many years I have felt that development and...

A position piece written with Adrian Giordani of CERN on the potential impact of unquantifiable software defect on scientific progress.
View ArticleModelling the flight of a hammer throw
The effect of aerodynamics on a hammer throw is much less than on a javelin so instead of the sophisticated method used in my javelin flight analyser, you can get away with a much simpler solution...
