He is known for proposing Ripple Down Rules. This has had a significant impact on both the computing industry as well as being commercialised in several companies, including:


 * The Ballarat Incremental Knowledge Engine (BIKE) is a comprehensive open source implementation in C++. Includes plugins for Single Classification and Multiple Classification RDRs.
 * Pacific Knowledge Systems (PKS) uses a commercial product called LabWizard that is based on Multiple Classification Ripple Down Rules
 * WEKA has a version of Induct RDR called Ridor.

Further, the guidelines are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_%28academics%29 If an academic/professor meets any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, they are notable. If an academic/professor meets none of these conditions, they may still be notable, if they meet the conditions of WP:Notability or other notability criteria, and the merits of an article on the academic/professor will depend largely on the extent to which it is verifiable. Before applying these criteria, see the detailed Notes which follow.

1. The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.

RDR has had a significant impact and has many citations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bradhall71 (talk • contribs) 06:39, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
