Eric Landau President, APL Solutions, Inc. 1107 Dale Drive Silver Spring MD 20910-1607 Current Employment I am the founder and sole owner of APL Solutions, Inc. (a Maryland corporation), an independent consultancy specializing in APL systems design, implementation, documentation, testing, maintenance and training. Since APL Solutions opened for business in May of 1995, I have done a variety of development work for various clients, primarily in financial and investment-related applications. Most of this work has been in APL*Plus II/386 or in APL*Plus III for Windows (now APL+Win from APL2000). Prior Employment Legi-Slate, Inc. (Washington Post Co.) 1988 (Senior Systems Analyst) - 1995 (Manager, Technical Development). Legi-Slate is an on-line information service provider supporting a very large collection of databases containing text, indices, and associated information. As Manager of Technical Development I was responsible for the design, implementation and maintenance of individual databases (using APL*Plus component files) and "back end" systems, both for processing incoming document text (supplied in a variety of markup styles, including SGML, WordPerfect and ATEX) and for collecting analyst-supplied information interactively (from DOS and Windows workstations). These were written almost entirely in APL, with some Rexx and DOS Shell programs for transferring data between workstation PCS and an Amdahl mainframe running APL*Plus under VM. Prior to my appointment as Manager, I also designed and programmed parts of Legi-Slate's "front end" system for for client retrieval and display of data from the database (all in APL). American Management Systems, Inc. 1986-1988. With AMS, I engaged in a variety of consulting assignments in the areas of system and database design, procedures, operations and organization (no programming), some individually, some as a member of a team, for a variety of private and government clients. More than half of this work was for the U.S. Navy (NAVSEA-7, the U.S. Naval Shipyard command), requiring Secret clearance. I was used primarily as a specialist in inventory management, work planning, and work-flow control. Independent consultant (unincorporated). 1984-1986. Designed and implemented systems for a variety of clients, primarily in finance, transportation and scientific research, using mainframe and PC APL and PC Basic. The largest of these systems was installed in airports throughout the U.S. to collect departure-time flight information entered by gate agents for real-time transmission, analysis and reporting at a central location. Manugistics, Inc. (formerly STSC, Inc. and Scientific Time Sharing Corporation). 1973 (Marketing Representative) - 1984 (Director, Manufacturing Systems Development). As Marketing Representative and Branch Manager for STSC in Rochester, New York, I sold APL time-sharing services at a time when "selling" included everything from designing and implementing custom applications in APL to teaching courses in the APL language. As Product Manager and later Development Director for manufacturing systems, I was involved in all aspects of the development of the product line, from programming to advertising. I was responsible for the architecture of STSC's Comprehensive Manufacturing Control System (CMCS), which was STSC's leading application product offering in the late 1970's and early 1980's, and which still forms the "old core" of their principal application product, now called Logistics*Plus. During this period, I became a Fellow of the American Production and Inventory Control Society, published a number of papers on P&IC topics (including two, 'On The Non-Statistical Aspects of Statistical Forecasting' and 'On Defining Customer Service,' which appear in the APICS Reprints series), and gained some reputation as an authority on the use of computer systems in the P&IC field. Burroughs Corporation. 1970-1973 (Programmer/Analyst). I did systems and applications programming, mostly in Algol, with some applications programming in COBOL. Intermac Corporation. 1969-1970. I did "body shop" consulting programming for a variety of clients, primarily in APL and Fortran, with some COBOL and PL/I. It was during my employment with Intermac that I first learned APL by taking a course from Leonard Gilman at IBM in Yorktown. U.S. Social Security Administration 1967-1968 (Junior Economist). During a year away from graduate school, I worked for the Long-Range Research Branch of the SSA. I was the first member of that staff to use computer programs, which I wrote in Fortran and Basic, for statistical analysis.
