Technologist, scientist, author,
specializing in the physics of Information Systems.
Science is culture, and technology is art...*
This is my personal homepage. I'm a physicist, technologist, advisor to public and private organizations, globally---author, founder and original architect of CFEngine, founder of ChiTek-i, and Aljabr. International technology advisor, and public speaker. My work is mostly in science and technology of distributed computer systems, with some forays into Social Science theory and the physics of agents. I have worked on knowledge representations, called Semantic Spacetime (that branch away from traditional logical approaches like RDF and Topic Maps) (SSTorytime project) and semantics, particularly in connection with syste Configuration. This led to the development of Promise Theory. I try to popularize science, and advocate for its cultural importance in modern education. I also compose music on an amateur basis.
Previously Professor of Networks and Systems at Oslo (Metropolitan) University, teaching in Physics, Mathematics, Operating Systems, Network and System Administration, Networking Technologies, laboratory skills, Programming Languages, Computer Security and many seminar series on scientific methods for PhD students. I abandoned this position to work in the field. I assist in the editing of a number of scientific journals.
