| Kevin D. Reilly was appointed professor of computer and information science at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) in 1984. He began his UAB career in 1970. Earlier work was in the research track at UCLA and as a lecturer at UCLA and at the University of Southern California (in business statistics). Other positions at UAB have included a secondary appointment as professor of psychology. Transit to emeritus professor status is expected soon, with continued, reduced activity across the spectrum of teaching, research, and service. A philosophical view that logic and statistics (probability) are the two great epistemologies of science has significantly influenced Kevin’s approach to scientific work. A programming and software systems interest provides a means to achieve computational goals in researching topics such as modeling and simulation of human and animal behavior; software for combined discrete and continuous simulation; logic programming as a nonnumeric simulation modeling mode to accompany numerical modes; a logic-based approach to theory and development of simulation languages and environments; neural network modeling in psychology; fuzzy systems, including fuzzy neural networks, genetic algorithm solution methods, and Web system modeling applications; expert systems on handheld devices; and clustering and sequence analysis methods in proteins and other biological systems. He has published almost 200 research papers on these topics. In parallel, he made over 125 professional presentations. Over 125 review articles are listed in his resume, with his most recent ones being in Computing Reviews. Kevin is listed in several Who’s Who documents, including, for example, Who’s Who in America and American Men and Women of Science. He is a senior member of the Modeling and Simulation Society, a Monbusho fellow (Japan), and a member of the European Academy of Sciences. He is a Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society designee, a Woodrow Wilson Fellow, and a US Public Health Service Postdoctoral Fellow. He spent a sabbatical period at the National Institute of Mental Health. He obtained his PhD from the University of Chicago, after an MS from the University of Nebraska and a BS, summa cum laude, from Creighton University. His spare time revolves around travel and arguing topics wiser people know to avoid: religion and politics! He’s an animal lover, at least to the extent that he’s never experienced a period without a dog or cat, or both. |

An architectural model of conscious and unconscious brain functions: global workspace theory and IDA Baars B., Franklin S. Neural Networks 20(9): 955-961, 2007. Type: Article
Baars has registered at least 25 years of active pursuit of “conscious contents” as “coherent, global information” in brain-like behavior. Global workspace theory (GWT) postulates that the role o...
