More About the Author

MBM is a scientist, technologist and author a former researcher/lecturer at Ben-Gurion University, with professional interests in areas of Systems Engineering, Software Engineering and Project Management. He has been active for almost four decades in these areas, as a practitioner, consultant, lecturer and researcher.
His extensive writings include some thirty books, engineering/professional, fiction and poetry, and several hundred papers in professional areas - engineering, management, economics, accounting, reviews and history. He is also an ordained clergyman and is a reasonably good cook (mushrooms, chocolate and spinach are some favourites). His extra-curricular activities (hobbies) include cookery, reading, eclectic music and wandering.

He has led many projects both in industry and academia and has acted as guide, mentor and faculty advisor for tens of graduate students. He has taught undergraduate and graduate systems and software engineering subjects, including Introductory courses, Testing, Software & System Processes, Software Project Management, Advanced Project Management for Technology-Rich Projects, Systems Engineering for Industrial Engineers, Analysis & Design, Software Quality Engineering, Verification & Validation and others. The aspect of his academic career of which he is proudest is that hundreds of former students remain in contact with him for many years and consider him both an on-going mentor and friend.
His theoretical research interests have included the Paradigm of Change, an overall framework for systems' management in an organisation, whether these are management systems, control systems or parts of a products' mix. His practical research in systems is systems engineering of distributed energy & power systems.
His professional systems' experience included all types of systems - satellites/airborne systems, insurance and banking, telephony and water, but his favourite projects have always been those involving very complex and large real-time systems.

He is or has been a member of the Oxford Club, IEEE-CS and ACM.
Kind of a weird bloke, but he sometimes can be nice. Usually, he does not eat nails, nor spit thumbtacks. He has been known to climb trees, however (favourite sport).
