Recently, he has been working in the field of Agents (see WhatIsAnAgent & AgentOrientedProgramming). His recent articles in DistributedComputing magazine and his AdaptiveAgents tutorial at OOPSLA 98 were very interesting. There's more material on his webpage at http://www.jamesodell.com.

He is currently working on some new books on the agent-based approach. Additionally, he is a columnist for the JournalOfObjectOrientedProgramming (JOOP). In 2000, he published a two-part Executive Report (Vol 3, No 4 and 6) with the CutterConsortium.
He speaks about the concept of concept and the type of type like no one else; with the sort of enthusiasm that reminds me why I like those discussions so much.
Also, his nickname (Jim Odell) has a model embedded in it. Way to go, Jim!
