Roma's Homepage

I am a PhD student studying computer science at Victoria University of Wellington. I am working on a project involving graph layout and interaction. I also have done work on using genetic programming for art, and maintain an open source genetic programming library called FGPJ. I am also working on a latex class and bibliography style to support the New Zealand Law Style Guide.

I help organise the local ACM programming contest site (South Pacific region) as well as the ANZAC league Victoria Site. I have also been a tutor for a number of courses (Comp 102, 103, 303 [Algorithms], 304 [Programming Languages], 308 [Graphics], Nwen 303 [Concurrency]).

NZ Law Style Guide Latex Package

This is a latex class and biblatex bibliography style that attemps to implement the format specified in the New Zealand Law Style Guide. The code and documentation are not complete, but any questions / bugs can be emailed to me. The appropriate files are listed below. If you find any bugs please inform me, and I will attempt to correct them as soon as possible.

GP Package

Here is a testing version of a GP package I am working on based on RMITGP. It is currently being released under the GPL. Any feedback is appreciated. It is written in Java, and I have been testing it with Java 1.6. Click to download FGPJ version 0.93. This is the second release based on feedback from students using it for a course. It has has significant changes to the interface, making the examples simpler as well as having substantial amount of documentation added. Any feedback or bug reports are welcome at roma@ecs.vuw.ac.nz.

Here are some images that I have produced using the above package.

Draft Algorithms Notes

I have put the notes I used for the tutorial on Saturday. They are obviously stil in a draft state, and I will gradually try improve them. Any corrections sent will be looked at. You can download notes.pdf here. See advertisement.
