Vladimir StepanoffCyberPlan Enrg.v5234647@cyberplan.orgProfileAs a dynamic hands-on leader and innovator, he has skills and experience in all aspects of computer application software development and maintenance throughout the life-cycle, with particular emphasis on re-hosting and modernizing or transforming computer applications to achieve greater flexibility and scalability by enabling the selection of alternate computing platforms, and to provide better access to data, reduction of hardware costs and improvement in end-user interfaces. To this end, he has designed and implemented a large variety of language and data translators, code generators, run-time libraries and tools for application analysis and enhancement, and is an expert in the development of automated techniques to ensure controlled and efficient software development, testing and maintenance. He has extensive experience in theapplication of these, and other computer techniques such as mathematicaloptimization algorithms and computer simulation in the solution of industrialprobelms in real-world situations, on five continents.Curriculum VitaeEarly ComputingIBM 1401 Autocoder language programming instructorDisassembly of 1401 object code into COBOLTranslator for IBM 1401 Autocoder language into COBOLTranslation of railway train movement simulator from IBM 7074 Autocoderlanguage into COBOLTranslation of ALGOL programs into FORTRANData AnalysisStatistical studies of EEG data for genetics of epilepsy researchStatistical studies of psycho-pharmaceutical experimental data Database for quality control of a continuous steel billet casting machineInformation systemsNurses payroll system for a hospitalUniversal account translator for production of world-wide financial reports fora multi-nationalAnnual rail transportation expenses spreadsheet, similar to Visicalc, which wasto come 6 years laterDesign of the Press Agency System for the 1976 Montreal Summer OlympicsGraphical system for cataloguing and geographical mapping of Brazilian FederalRailway (RFFSA) physical assetsCustoms Agent application installed at all ports of entry in the Bahamas and usinga centralized DB/2 databaseHardware and operating systemsBuilt and programmed Polymorphic 88 computer with Z80 CPU and S-100 busIntegrated operating system and application language for Data General Nova 2Printer spooling system for RCA Spectra 70Application language for a prototype ARM based handheld inventory scanning deviceArgent IBM AS/400 Agent system activity monitor prototypeSoftware and Data Re-engineeringCode generator to produce COBOL programs from a macro languageCOBOL code generation from decision tables using DETAB-65Translation of FORTRAN programs into PL/1Migration tools to convert MAI Basic/Four applications into PL/1Migration tools to convert IBM System/36 COBOL applications to Wang VS COBOLwith PL/1 block-mode displaysPL/1 function library to emulate Wang VS command languageMigration tools to convert IBM System/36 RPG applications into the C languageMigration tools to convert IBM System/36 Basic applications into the C languageunder OS/2 using CISAMMigration tools to convert IBM System/36 Basic applications into the C languageusing Informix databasesMigration tools to convert System/36 COBOL applications to Acucobol, to operateunder UNIXC function library for execution-time data translation between Oracle database anda COBOL applicationMigration tools to convert IBM AS/400 RPG applications into C and C++ under Windowsand UNIX using SQL Server, Informix, Oracle, Sybase and DB/2 databases withclient/server graphical user interfaceIBM System i Data Migration ToolkitMigration tools to convert IBM AS/400 RPG applications into Informix 4GLMigration tools to convert IBM AS/400 RPG applications into Oracle PL/SQLMigration tools to convert IBM AS/400 block-mode displays to Java client/servergraphical user interfacesMigration tools to convert IBM AS/400 databases into SAP Oracle databases Reverse engineering of Orcad EDA library and electronic schematic database formatsand the development of schematic and component translatorsMigration of IBM MVS COBOL applications to Micro Focus on Sun Solaris.Automation of analysis for IBM MVS and VSE application source and job logs to producecross-reference lists of JCL, programs, subroutines and copycode, and data filesTranslators for IBM MVS and VSE JCL and COBOL into UNIX shell scripts andMicro Focus COBOL programsTranslator for IBM Selector into C and Perl.Translator of IBM VSE SyncSort parameters into UNIX equivalentsTranslation of IBM MVS Easytrieve programs into COBOL and PerlAnalysis and generation of UNIX AFP configurations from IBM MVS print resources.Tools to refactor COBOL programs into structured COBOL code eliminating GOTOdbCOBOL is a COBOL (or C/C++) programmer's aid that incorporates a relationaldatabase system into existing applicationsTools and libraries for extending capabilities of MicroFocus COBOL on MicrosoftWindowsMigration tools to convert IBM VisualAge Generator applications with DB/2 databasesinto Microsoft AccessSimulation and OptimizationSimulation of railway train dispatching and movement using interactive graphicsAmalgamation of several Brazilian railway companies historical transportation dataTrain movement routing model of Brazilian railway systemsRail transportation forecasting model for the Brazilian Federal RailwayRail transportation forecasting model for the State of São Paulo RailwayOptimizing network flow model for capital planning of soybean production and distributionin central Brazil Casino floor staff scheduler using an optimizing network flow model of requirementsversus availabilityPublications and Awards"Interactive Graphics Help Simulate Train Movement", Griffiths and Stepanoff, CanadianDatasystems, October 1975
