Brian's research interests include object-oriented programming, design, reuse, languages, frameworks, software architecture, patterns, reflection, metalevel architecture, and software evolution, for starters.
I've managed to come up with electronic copies of all my publications and workshop position papers (and several talks as well) going back to 1985. These can be accessed via the links below. These are organized into the following categories. Some probably belong in more than one category. Direct hypertext links are given for papers for which HTML versions exist (such as Designing Reusable Classes). Links to versions in other formats are given after each paper's pseudo-bibliographic entry.

I have been working with Smalltalk-80 for over ten years, beginning with Dave Ungar's BS, and the Apple Smalltalk that appeared on the Lisa and Macintosh during the mid-80s. From there, I've worked my way though the succession of ParcPlace Smalltalk-80 incarnations. I was exposed early on to Smalltalk-V as well. Smalltalk has been at the foundation of much of my work, including Designing to Facilitate Change with Object-Oriented Frameworks and Reflective Facilities in Smalltalk-80.
I am a member (a charter member, in fact) of Ralph Johnson's Smalltalk Group at the Dept. of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The Smalltalk Group curates the UIUC's Smalltalk Archive.
