Carl Adams.

I moved to Donnington in 2001 from Salisbury, Wiltshire, with my wife and
three children (two boys and one girl) all at local schools.

My professional background included approximately 12 years working in the computer industry as a Software Engineer, System Analyst and Consultant.

Then I moved into higher education where I am currently employed as a Principle Lecturer in the Department of Information Systems and Computer Applications, University of Portsmouth, UK. My main activities are teaching on undergraduate and postgraduate courses, supervising research students and conducting and managing research activity.

My main areas of expertise are in developing computer systems, Electronic Commerce/Business (e-commerce/e- business), Mobile Commerce (m-commerce) and Information Systems. I have a PhD from Southampton University (title "Dealing with uncertainty within Information Systems development: Applying Prospect theory") and an MSc in Management Science (also from Southampton University). I am also a full and active member of the British Computer Society.
