Curriculum Vitae - The University of Texas at Dallas

Army, NSA, and CIA as well as consulted for the IRS. I led team research efforts and designed anddeveloped algorithms and prototypes for secure distributed database systems, secure object systems andsecure deductive systems. I proved that the inference problem was unsolvable and developed solutions tolimited aspects of this problem. We also developed distributed object-based real-time systems andtransferred the technology to the AWACS program. Additionally, I built MITRE’s programs and gavethem international visibility in data mining and data security. For 4 years, I managed a department ofabout 28 staff. I am currently a consultant to IRS through MITRE on the software research credit program.(iv) Honeywell, Inc., Golden Valley, MN (January, 1986 – January, 1989) Position: PrincipalResearch Scientist / Engineer, Corporate Systems Development Division. I conducted research,development, and technology transfer activities in database security, data management, distributedprocessing, information systems, process control systems, payoff modeling, and AI applications. Inaddition to reports and proprietary documents, papers were also published in refereed journals andconferences. Work was carried out for Honeywell internal divisions, as well as for the Air Force andNASA.(v) Control Data Corporation, Arden Hills, MN (December 1983 – January 1986) Position: SeniorProgrammer/ Analyst, Arden Hills programming Division. I was involved in the design and developmentof the CDCNET (Control Data Communications Network) product. Company proprietary documents werealso written. Specifically, I was responsible for the design and development of transport, network, sessionlayers as well as several other components of the network. Details are given under the Industry Experiencesection.V. RESEARCH ACCOMPLISHMENTSPublications Statistics: Over 100 journal papers including articles in several IEEE Transactions, VeryLarge Database Journal, ACM Transactions, Journal of Computer and Systems Sciences and Notre DameJournal of Formal Logic. Over 200 Conference/Workshop Papers (IEEE, ACM and IFIP conferences),over 70 keynote/featured presentations, 12 books authored (data security, data management and datamining), 12 books edited; 4 US patents (3 obtained and 1 filed in data security).Research Contracts/GrantsUT Dallas: Over $14 million in grants and contracts by my team in assured information sharing,geospatial information management, semantic web, data mining for security applications, and securegrids. Sponsors include AFOSR, IARPA, NSF, NASA, NGA, ONR, NIH and Raytheon. Over $2 millionin education grants in cyber security from DoD and NSF.MITRE: I initiated and led several research projects for various sponsors including Navy (securedistributed databases, secure objects, inference problem/NTML), Army (inference problem, securityconstraint processing), Air Force (secure distributed databases and real-time databases/middleware), andNational Security Agency (secure federated databases, designing secure systems and applications). Eachproject that I led consisted of about three – five staff, a third with Ph.D.’s and half with MS degrees; alsoincluded students from Carnegie Mellon University, Cornell, University of Rhode Island and NorthEastern University.Prototypes and Products: UT Dallas: My students are implementing several prototypes in secure data,information and knowledge management systems, data mining tools for security applications, geospatialsemantic webs and social network tools. Some tools were transferred to the Raytheon program and we arehaving discussions on commercializing the data mining tools. Other: Developed parts of the CDCNETproduct at Control Data Corporation (extensive implementation in Cybil language). Oversaw theimplementation of expert process control system XIMKON at Honeywell as well as Network operatingsystem and students’ implementations at University of Minnesota (mostly C). Supervised very closely theimplementation of several prototypes based on my designs at MITRE. These included secure distributeddatabase system prototypes, database inference controller prototypes for query, update, and databasedesign, multimedia system prototypes simulating security features, active real-time data managementprototype, and real-time data management hosted on an infrastructure for real-time applications anddata/text mining and knowledge management prototypes.17
