We are sad to announce that our colleague and friend David Carr passed away due to a heart attack on January 7, 2006. This web page is slightly altered due to this tragic event. David's friends and former collegues in USA has put together a memorial page for David that can be found here.

David held an appointment as an Associate Professor of Human-Computer Interaction (Universitetslektor i mnniska-datorinteraktion) and am responsible for the curriculum for Computer Science and Engineering (programkoordinator). Below is a short cv.

Executable Example Programs

IOG Specification Animations

This program was written in part by my colleague and friend Carl Rollo. I'd like to thank him for his efforts in creating the Windows interface code and implementing many of the specifications. The program requires an IBM PC running Microsoft Windows 3.1 and was written with Borland C++ using OWL 2. The archive is compressed with PKZIP. [[iogdemo/IOGDEMO.ZIP Get Demo. Binary] (416KB)]
