A sequel to ''The Rosie Project'', titled ''The Rosie Effect'', was published on 24 September 2014 by Text Publishing.〔 Simsion has announced that his third novel will be about a relationship rekindled and titled ''The Best of Adam Sharp''. He and his wife Anne Buist are also collaborating on a novel set on the Camino de Santiago. Prior to writing fiction he was an information systems consultant and wrote two books and several papers about data-modelling. He established a consulting business in 1982 and sold it in 1999. At that time ''Simsion Bowles and Associates'' had over seventy staff.〔("Text Publishing – Graeme Simsion" ) Text Publishing biography 2013〕 He co-founded a wine distribution business, ''Pinot Now'' with Steven Naughton.〔("Pinot Now About Us" )〕 From 2002–2006, as a PhD candidate at the University of Melbourne, he conducted the largest published study of data modelling practitioners (489 participants, most with substantial industry experience), to address the question 'Is data modelling better characterised as description or design?' The research included interviews with thought leaders, surveys of practitioners, and practical modelling tasks. He concluded that, in contrast to the assumption implicit in most data modelling research, data modelling is best characterised as a design discipline (the term design is used in the broad sense of design theory, rather than its more narrow and casual usage in the information systems field). His work was published as his PhD thesis Data Modeling: Description or Design, University of Melbourne, 2006 and in ''Data Modeling Theory and Practice'' (Technics Publications, 2007). He is married to Professor Anne Buist〔("Anne Buist" ) University of Melbourne〕 and has two children. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Graeme Simsion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
