Biography

Robinson’s research is working towards the improvement of software systems understanding, design and operation. He is also exploring various approaches to providing automated support for systems analysts. Through the research of these two complimentary areas, Robinson has developed a theory of “negotiated design” as well as associated CASE tool support.
