engine and text extraction programs.
Tracey Hughes is a senior graphics programmer at CTEST Laboratories,
where she develops knowledge and information visualization software. Tracey
Hughes is the lead designer for the M.I.N.D, C.R.A.I.G, and NOFAQS projects
that utilize epistemic visualization at CTEST Laboratories. She regularly contributes
to Linux development software efforts. She is also a team member on the GRIOT
project.
Cameron and Tracey Hughes are also the authors of six books on software development,
multithreaded, and parallel programming: Parallel and Distributed Programming
Using C (Addison Wesley, 2003), Linux Rapid Application Development (Hungry
Minds, 2000), Mastering the Standard C++ Classes (Wiley, 1999), Object - Oriented
Multithreading Using C (Wiley, 1997), Collection and Container Classes in C++
(Wiley, 1996), and Object - Oriented I/O Using C Iostreams (Wiley, 1995).
