Computing
My work in computer science has primarily been in the field of software failure. Much of it has involved the design and execution of experiments to attempt to determine the cause and hence to reduce the occurrence of failure in software systems.
I have also spent a great deal of time studying failures within programming languages notably those based on C,(C++, Perl, Tcl/Tk, Javascript, Java, PHP and no doubt more to come). I do not hold any great hope that languages will improve whilst they keep getting bigger. You can't fight entropy and I wish we would stop trying. I have collected language works separately under the overall title of 'Safer Subsets' at the top level.
