Trevor Moores, Ph.D.

Associate Professor

Trevor T. Moores received a BA in Combined Studies (Arts), majoring in Philosophy and Psychology, from Sunderland Polytechnic (UK), an MSc in Intelligent Knowledge Based Systems from the University of Essex (UK), and a PhD in MIS from the University of Aston (UK). His research interests are broadly in the area of the management of software, ranging from measuring the development of conventional and knowledge based systems, to broader social issues, such as software piracy and Internet privacy. His work has appeared in MIS Quarterly, Communications of the ACM, IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, Information & Management, European Journal of Information Systems, DATA BASE, and others.
