Doxiadis Research 

Making Sense of the Leading Edge

Welcome!

This is Apostolos "Dox" Doxiadis, online researcher and writer. You may have seen some of my work in The Internet 1997 Unleashed and in Web Guide Magazine. I have worked in artificial intelligence, astronautics, simulation, and virtual reality. I have been a licensed investment executive. 

Unfortunately, I am not the author of the novel Uncle Petros and Goldbach's Conjecture; that is my cousin by the same name. 

In my online career, I have been the assistant leader for an "Internet In Business" forum, I have guided Internet newcomers in a beginner's forum, and been the Current Affairs moderator for a major newspaper's online edition. For more about me, look at the biographical note

In my years in technology, investing, and the online world, I have come across a number of fields that are extremely fascinating, and sometimes even useful. The Internet carries a lot of material on these. Unfortunately, there is a scarcity of clear guidance to this material: too much is written in a trendy, deliberately obscure and confusing style laced with hyperbole. This site, organized into "Guides" for specific topics, is aimed at intelligent adults. I hope that each of these will give you a clear picture of the topic, and get you interested and involved. 


The Guides

Each Guide leads to the best Web sites for learning about a field. I have picked these for their clarity and "hands-on" appeal. For those not sure of what a topic or sub-topic may be about, there are topic introductions.

Virtual Worlds: Simulation, Telepresence, Virtual Reality, Avatar Communities
See how your machine can become a window to other places in physical or virtual reality. Control machines half a world away, and meet others in cyberspace cities. Today, this is a novel and experimental side of the net--tomorrow, a way of life?
