My research was in consistency maintenance for multiplayer computer games.

I have developed a toolkit that implements a variety of consistency maintenance algorithms. The toolkit is called Janus (pronounced YAH-noos). In Roman mythology, Janus was the god of gates, doors, doorways, beginnings and endings. Janus also had the ability to see into both the past and the future. Similarly users of the toolkit are able to access the game state at any point in the past or the future.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janushttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_(male_deity)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doorshapeimage_4_link_0shapeimage_4_link_1shapeimage_4_link_2shapeimage_4_link_3
