Director of Undergraduate Studies (Fall 2008—Present): Chair of Undergraduate Committee. Developing three-year curriculum plan for the entire department.
Leading Computer Science B.A. Degree Proposal and Review (Summer 2010—Present): This effort is a move to grow the undergraduate program. It has received strong positive support from campus administration and is on track to be formally approved by the College of Engineering and Applied Science by December 2010. Goal is to have the program approved by the campus in Spring 2011 and accepting students by Fall 2011.
Co-Chair of Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) Accreditation Effort (Fall 2008—Fall 2009): Led a comprehensive curriculum review of the undergraduate program, made adjustments to undergraduate policy, and contributed to the creation of the Department's ABET self-study report submitted in May 2009. Led process to create display materials (course profiles, course dossiers, coverage of program outcomes and objectives, assessment workflows, etc.) for the ABET site visit in September 2009. Result: Department received full accreditation in August 2010, backdated to October 2008, valid until September 2016.

Abstract
The heterogeneity of modern computing environments contributes to the information overload experienced by users. Relationships within and between applications, documents, and processes are often implicit and must be managed and tracked by the user. Hypermedia has been put forward as one approach to organizing these relationships, making them explicit so they can be managed. One approach to providing environment-wide hypermedia services is through the use of open hypermedia systems (OHSs). OHSs are open with respect to the set of systems and information over which hypermedia services can be provided. This research area contrasts with the original approach to hypermedia services which involved developing monolithic systems with a closed set of supported data types (e.g. HyperCard). Given the existence of OHSs, another area of research is developing integration techniques such that applications which existed before the introduction of an OHS can take advantage of the hypermedia services provided by the OHS. This dissertation provides contributions in both of these research fields.
In particular, this work demonstrates techniques which enable OHSs to address the heterogeneity of their computing environments, to leverage the strengths of the World Wide Web (while providing the Web with improved hypermedia services), and to integrate large classes of applications at once. Handling heterogeneity is addressed via a set of flexible abstract hypermedia concepts, application program interfaces in multiple programming languages, support for multiple operating systems, and a low entry barrier to use provided by an architecture designed to reduce the responsibilities of client applications. Integration with the Web is enabled via a scalable architecture for OHSs which is compatible with the Web's architecture and takes advantage of the strengths of the Web's protocols and the familiarity of Web interaction styles. The integration of multiple applications occurs via a technique for making user-interface toolkits (and hence their constructed applications) clients of an OHS.
The dissertation is validated by examining the characteristics of the clients integrated with the exploratory systems developed during the course of this research. The dissertation concludes by positioning this work within the context of large-scale information environments.
