My name is Christopher Zhong, most people I know also call me Chris. I was born in Malaysia but moved to Singapore at the age of 10, of which I am a citizen now.

I came to United States in Spring 1999 for my undergraduate at Kansas State University. After receiving my B.S. in Computer Science in Spring 2002, I proceeded with the Masters program in Fall 2002. Unfortunately, after the first semester of my Masters program, I had to return to my home country to finish my remaining 6 months of National Service. National Service is the compulsory military service that every male Singaporean have to serve for at least 2 years. I was supposed to return after 6 months but was held back another 6 months due to the implementation of the new SEVIS system for international students. So, I returned to the Masters program in Spring 2004 and I completed my Masters in Spring 2006. Now, I'm proceeding with the Doctorate program in Computer Science.

There are numerous ways that I can be contacted online. The following are some of the ways I can be contacted:

• I have been using ICQ for a very long time, ever since it was released as a beta way back in the early days of the internet.
• Additionally, I also have a Yahoo! account.
• I rarely use Skype at all because I'm still 'old school' when it comes to online communication. Communicating by voice is something I'm still not used to.
• Being an avid PC gamer, I also have an Xfire account.

• Watching Animes! Yeah
• Playing Computer Games

When I started looking for a thesis topic, I started out with two broad areas of interest: genetic programming and multiagent systems. I eventually decided to settled on the area of multiagent systems and decided to look for a specific topic.

At first, I wanted to try for an efficient general purpose reorganization algorithm for the Organization Model for Adaptive Systems. As my research progressed, I encountered a number of issues. So this eventually lead to my Masters thesis. The thesis is about an investigative research into reorganization algorithms for the Organization Model for Adaptive Systems.
