q J.G. VAN
DYKE & ASSOCIATES (VDA), INC. - Project Manager/Principle Scientist
01/85
- 02/89 (Wash. D.C., Maryland,
Virginia, Germany)
As Project Manager for
Network integration and software development Mr. McClure designed and developed
an agency standard Workstation and LAN configuration and ported user
applications to a Client/Server environment.
The Workstation consolidated use of several separate terminals and other
hardware platforms into one workstation (an 80386/80486/SUN running either DOS
or UNIX) and provided connectivity to remote hosts (IBM 3080, Honeywell, SUN 4,
DEC VAX) with a GUI (Microsoft Windows/X-Windows). The LAN provided for multiple clusters of fiber-optic Ethernet
cable plant connected to an FDDI backbone and utilized multiple transport
protocols such as TCP/IP, NFS, NOVELL, and applications protocols such as TELNET,
NVDET, TN3270, TNVT220, FTP, and SMTP.
He built file, application, and mail servers including Novell, SUN, and
other NFS based servers. He also
developed a Network Transition Plan which outlined the steps necessary to move
from the previous world-wide WAN (1822J) to an X.25 standards-based network.
As Project Manager for
Data base software development Mr. McClure designed and developed a network
data base system built in dBase on a Novell Server with 80386 Workstation
computers. He built several Ethernet fiber-optic LANs with Novell File Servers
and internal bridges. He built remote
connectivity capability to IBM mainframes and a WAN X.25 gateway capability to
a large world-wide network and the Internet.
As Team Leader for a
large System integration and software development project Mr. McClure assisted
in designing and developing a system used to provide real-time data for
correlation and analysis. Development
was based on distributed processing between IBM 4381, a DEC PDP 11/70 Network
Processor, Communications Support Processors, a Message Support Processor, and
Workstations on an Ethernet LAN with external gateways to communications
networks such as world-wide 1822J and X.25.
He wrote communications programs using C with TCP/IP (streams and sockets),
ICMP, FTP, and TELNET on UNIX Workstations.
He provided workstation/mainframe connectivity with an IBM/SNA SDLC link
using 3278 emulation. He wrote
applications and system software in C, M204, FORTRAN, and MACRO-11. Mr. McClure created high level simulation
support software and graphics programs on Workstations utilizing UNIX system
tools and the Graphics Kernel System.
He provided training programs on UNIX Workstations for programmers, and
gave capability briefings to a variety of senior officials.
As Project Manager for
Network management software development Mr. McClure designed and developed a
hardware and software system of integrated network test tools to measure
performance on both pre-operational and operational networks. The system software was written in C under
UNIX on a AT&T 3B2/400 computer.
The software performed network throughput, stress, and error testing for
mutiplexors, hosts, and both LAN and remote gateways. The tools also performed protocol testing (TCP/IP, ICMP) by
allowing a user to modify standard packet leaders and then trace the packets as
they moved through the network.
As Project Manager for
Network management software development Mr. McClure worked on the design team
for a Distributed Network Monitoring Center and related subsystems. The network is a world-wide packet-switched
network using X.25, 1822J, and a wide variety of network protocols (such as NCP
and TCP/IP) and host computers (such as IBM 4381, IBM 370, DEC VAX, AT&T
3B, and Honeywell). He assisted in the
design of the Distributed Security Monitoring Subsystem. He also designed the Distributed LAN
Monitoring Subsystem and the Graphic Network Display Subsystem.
As Managing Engineer,
Mr. McClure managed and operated a large organization's Computer Facility and
DECNET/ SNA networks. He advised ADP
managers on VAX System Tuning and wrote programs in DCL and FORTRAN to assist
them in tuning/optimizing their newly purchased computer suite of clustered VAX
8600's. He advised them on setting up
long-haul SNA application systems in FORTRAN, COBOL, BASIC, C, and PL/1 (to run
in a distributed processing environment on VAX VMS, WANG Alliance OS, IBM 370
OS, networked between various Data Centers). He was also responsible for
R&D Projects such as writing programs to interface with touch screen
monitors, evaluating C code controlling optical scanners, communications design
and implementation using DECNET and SNA gateways; DEC, IBM, and WANG code conversion and communication tasks; CAD
system installation and software development with TEKTRONIX 4215B minicomputers
in PASCAL, and designing and developing and NCR Tower UNIX. He maintained the system software for NCR
TOWERs, TEKTRONIX 4315B Graphics Processors, Hewlett-Packard Minicomputers, DEC
VAX 11/730,750,780, and IBM. He
performed system engineering tasks such as systems tuning and system
optimization on VMS, UNITY, MVS, VS, and UNIX based machines. He also designed and built several software
applications systems, a CAD system, and communications programs in C, FORTRAN,
COBOL, BASIC, PASCAL, and VAX DCL. Mr.
McClure assisted in the design of digital communications standards for the
34,000 offices in the United States.
