Hi Robert. I subscribe to the FRIAM listserv, and have seen your note here.
I'm wondering what the law is regarding the sharing of intellectual property where one person establishes the general rules for a computer simulation and then takes those rules to a programmer who then creates a specific program based on your rules. Do you both share in the resulting simulation, or can the programmer argue the simulation is his/hers? I am in a situation where I have established the general rules for a simulation, and another fellow has created the actual sim - so am curious to know how we should go about claiming our respective intellectual property rights (hopefully they are shared). Thanks and would be grateful if you could run this by Dr Winchell.

I can try to get Bruce to answer a few questions like these if it's too far for you. Email me your question (50 words or less) and I'll see what I can do. Thanks, Robert C ERIC P.

I have wondered how enforceable any such agreement is, and what the publisher would do if I insisted on a paper transaction in which I could do things like write in clauses. Has anyone had experience with these issues?
