Malcolm Corbin took Honours in Physics from Cambridge 
University in 1971, and went on to do an M.Sc. by research 
in adaptive control at Essex in 1973. He joined what was 
then the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough, 
working initially in aircraft flight control. He was co-
developer of the TSIM language for control system design, 
which was widely used in the British aircraft industry in 
the late '70s and early '80s. 
More recently he has designed and developed a generic 
object-based framework for distributed real-time simulation 
called MulTiSIM, which forms the core of the helicopter 
mission simulator at Farnborough, and is now working on 
applications of mobile agent technology in simulation.
