Michael Migdail-Smith
Summary:
Mr. Migdail-Smith has over 20
years experience in analysis, design, development and testing of large scale
simulations, decision aids and real time software tools. His concentration has
been in simulation modeling, graphical user interfaces,
requirements/alternatives evaluation, and prototype development. As a member of
the Technical Staff, Mr. Migdail-Smith concentrates on development efforts
involving simulation, synthesized display of complex information and integration
of information systems. He is actively involved in entire development life cycle
including: customer interaction, requirements analysis, system design, software
development, test and evaluation, system integration and ongoing system support.
Additionally, his focus includes using developed systems to analyze customer
needs, risks, and requirements.

University of Connecticut,1997 - Present
Adjunct mathematics instructor, concentrating on freshman calculus courses.
Previous Experience:
PSI International, Inc., 1990 - 1997
- Research Analyst: Involved in three projects at the Coast Guard R&D Center, the
Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) Updating test bed, the Operational
Information System Phase I (OIS), and the Law Enforcement Simulation (LESIM). The ECDIS
prototype is an engineering tool for investigating the capabilities and limitations of
various International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) standards for ECDIS. The system
contains a Graphical User Interface (GUI) created using the object oriented paradigm
within the Kappa development system (incorporating C and Pro Talk, a Lisp like
interpretive language) on a HP 700 running UNIX.
- Systems Analyst: Responsibilities on OIS included performing code modifications to the
Pen Based GUI (Written in visual Basic in the MS DOS environment), the interface parsing
routines written in C (SQL queries) and Progress (in UNIX), and the Progress (in UNIX)
validation routines. Tasks included debugging current code, responding to problem reports
and suggested updates (both in a timely and accurate manner), and testing, delivering as
well as supporting the systems.
- Simulation Analyst: LESIM system couples Discrete Event simulation with Artificial
Intelligence to model the Coast Guard surveillance and interdiction operations in a robust
environment. Specific tasks included the design and implementation of various modules
including the threat generator which models the movement of marine traffic, and the
surveillance model. Additionally, verification and validation of the overall simulation
model was performed, along with the development and conducting of experiments with
specific scenarios reflecting Coast Guard planning strategies.
LOGICON Inc., 1988 - 1990
Systems Analyst: Member of the technical staff responsible for the independent software
nuclear safety analysis (ISNSA) of the Navy's NAVSEA C4.1 and AN/BSY-1 combat control
projects. As a member of the staff, performed both software analysis and lab testing as
well as contributing to the publication of the Nuclear Safety Requirements Document, Test
Plan, Test Procedures, and Nuclear Safety Discrepancy Reports for both projects.
Westchester Community College, 1987
Adjunct member of the WCC faculty. Taught a course in discrete mathematics which
focused on the mathematical aspects of Operations Research.
New York City Board of Education, 1985 - 1987
Graduate student on loan to the John F. Kennedy High School faculty. Taught numerous
courses at various levels in mathematics. In addition to the class load, tasked with
directing an advanced mathematics preparation course and participating in the critical
thinking skills project which was designed to enhance students mathematical problem
solving skills.
Languages and Operating Systems:
VAX/VMS, UNIX, DOS, Windows, X-Windows, BTOS, C, C++, Fortran 77, Simscript 11.5,
Kappa, Visual Basic, Progress, Access, ArcView, Basic, CMS 44, and CMS7
