Acro Logic:
|
Dr Bostock, the owner of Acro Logic, has expertise and experience that spans a wide range of strategies, systems and technologies; particularly IT and computer related technologies and systems. This is illustrated in the following sections.
Please select a section from the list below, or scroll down through all of these sections.
Dr Bostock provided Castle Rock Consultants (CRC) with scientific and technological expertise in:
He was actively involved in the research, design, demonstration and evaluation of ATT systems. In particular, tasks included:
Dr Bostock participated in several European telematics projects, particularly in the DRIVE I and II research and development programmes, and a number of US telematics projects. The projects varied across the whole telematics spectrum, with a focus on road transport applications, such as:
He was also responsible for the administration of the company's computer facilities and their strategic development.
Dr Bostock has experience of the strategic planning and analysis processes used to develop systems for use in business, education and industry.
In terms of particular office applications, he has experience in:
He was responsible for the strategic development of information systems, and the development and maintenance of all IT systems. In particular, this role included the following responsibilities:
Dr Bostock introduced a state of the art data communications network to support the immediate and the future requirements of the College (e.g. the use of telematics to deliver: interactive multimedia applications; distance learning; and the collection and dissemination of management information).
The technology introduced included:
Other key developments included strategies and technologies for distance learning, and providing information services via an Intranet.
Dr Bostock has achieved a great deal and demonstrated that the successful implementation of an IT project is dependent upon a clear understanding of the appropriate technologies, and the requirements and working practices of the end user. He has a clear understanding of Information Technology, and the processes required to determine the users' requirements and identify their working practices - key points in a systems development project.
Virtually all of Dr Bostock's career has focused on the development of innovative strategies and systems. This is illustrated throughout all of the sections on this page.
And now for some light-ish relief, and a bit of nostalgia - Dr Bostock's 'Claims to Fame'.

European standards in Telematics |
|

Environmentally sensitive transport strategies |

However, Dr Bostock is far from famous - but he is hungry for his next claim to fame... It could be you!
Dr Bostock conducted pioneering research in this area, and also gained his Ph.D. modelling the impact of innovative environmentally sensitive traffic control strategies. He played a key role in two European projects which developed and tested strategies and systems to monitor and control road traffic pollution. The projects focused on the specific problems within Athens, but also developed recommendations that could be applied to other European cities.
Four strategies were designed:
Dr Bostock developed an advanced traffic pollution computer model called Premit to evaluate the impact of these strategies on air pollution. He also developed specifications for the technology required to implement these strategies.
The second project conducted real system demonstrations in Athens to evaluate the technology and the users' response to it. This resulted in the development of recommendations for environmentally sensitive traffic control strategies which could be applied in Athens and other European cities.
At Chronos Richardson, Dr Bostock was responsible for software development and commissioning of projects which automated industrial processes. The software was developed on a real-time process control operating system. He developed specialised software and commissioned systems that provided the following features:
Telematics, yet another piece of jargon which refers to: the combination of Informatics (Information Technology) and Telecommunications.
The sections of this page illustrate the wide ranging experience and expertise that Dr Bostock has gained in the area of Telematics. In addition, he also participated in a number of pioneering development projects at GPT (previously know as GEC Telecommunications). These included the development of a voice messaging system, data communication facilities and feature phones.
