David Brooks M.E.Sc.
Senior Hardware Engineer at Megasoft Pty
Ltd.
David graduated with a Bachelor of Science (Electronic Engineering)
from University College of North Wales, Bangor. David later received
a Master of Engineering Science degree by thesis from the University
of Western Australia for research into RF Identification systems.

Before the IBM PC became available, David
designed two computers. One was built from basic logic as a
home-built project, the other using a Z80 microprocessor was
marketed as the "Index 2000".
His work in the digital electronics industry has focussed on
digital design for embedded systems. This covers both hardware
(including FPGA/ASIC) and embedded software, at the low (close

(Information Science) degree and then a Master of Science (Computer
Science) degree from Edith Cowan University. Mark's research
in Artificial Intelligence led to a number of papers and articles
being published in Journals throughout the world. Mark's thesis, "An Adaptive Hierarchical
Fuzzy Logic System for Modeling and Prediction of Financial Systems",
looked at a novel approach to reducing the Fuzzy Knowledge Base
size using a hierarchical system where the rules were learnt
by the use or genetic algorithms.
Mark has worked as a programmer for Australian and International
companies on a number of projects in the mining, transport, telemetry
and engineering areas, including trunking radio base stations,
mobiles and PABX systems. He has skills with DCOM, COM, ActiveX,
DLL's, ODBC, SQL and communications protocols. He has implemented
systems with Microsoft Windows, Windows CE, Pocket PC 2003 and
other user interfaces and has written a number of programs involving
database connectivity using ODBC, SQL and other database protocols.
Mark has implemented on OPC server (Ole for Process Control) for
a client's proprietary hardware using the Iconics toolkit. This
has used DA (Data Access) and HDA (Historical Data Access), allowing
computers on a network or internet to access the data on the hardware
in a standard form.
