Teaching Experience

• Professor of Practice, Computer Science, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA, 2003-present. See http://www.cs.wpi.edu/~gpollice for information about courses taught and projects advised.
• Rational Software, 1996-2003. I have developed and delivered several training sessions for internal use as well as for delivery to customers. Two areas where I have specifically concentrated is on the effective use of a suite of development tools to software development, and the adoption and implementation of modern software best practices.
• CenterLine Software, Cambridge, MA, 1993-95. As director of professional services, I developed and delivered courses on the theory and application of the Centerline product line, specifically the visual testing tools, to customer situations.
• Adjunct professor. U. Massachusetts, Lowell, MA, 1995. Graduate compiler course, two semesters.
• Instructor. Boston University Summer Institute, Tyngsboro, MA, 1989. Writing Fast Compilers, taught with Dr. William McKeeman.
• Customation Software, Edison, NJ 1980-83. As a principal in this consulting company I developed and delivered training courses to our customers, including Chase-Manhattan Bank, AT&T, Schering-Plough. Courses concentrated on learning new programming languages and applying them effectively to specific customer situations. 
• Adjunct professor. Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ, 1974-76. Courses taught included data structures, fundamentals of data processing, compilers.

Relevant Industrial Experience

Datapoint Technology Center, San Antonio, TX, 1983-85

SofTech, Waltham, MA, 1985

Sun Microsystems, Billerica, MA, 1985-87

Digital Equipment Corp., Nashua, NH, 1987-91

Centerline Software, Cambridge, MA, 1991-96

Rational Software, Lexington, MA, 1996-2003

 

Areas of specialization: compiler technology, software engineering, software process and methods, programming methods, software tools, software reuse.

 

I have held positions, from individual contributor in a software tools company, to director level positions, and member of the research staff. I have a broad area of expertise in general software engineering, and more in-depth knowledge of software engineering process and principles, tools development, compiler theory, and formal languages. Recently, I have been investigating the soft issues that affect software development; for example the way people collaborate and interact to share knowledge, empirical software engineering, and software testing..
