Staff grew from ten in June 1995 to approximately twenty-eight in May 1999.Leadership/Coordination Positions:* Head, MITRE’s Corporate Research and Development Initiative in Evolvable InteroperableInformation Systems (March 1996 – September 1997, budget approximately $4 million)* Head, MITRE’s Corporate Research and Development Initiative in Data Management (September1994 – March 1996, budget approximately $1 million)* Co-Director, MITRE Database Specialty Group (October 1993 – December 1995)Technical: My sixteen years experience at MITRE gave me the opportunity to work on research,development and technology transfer projects. I have worked for a number of sponsors including the AirForce, Navy, Army, NSA, CIA and IRS. I have worked with not only researchers and defense contractors,but also with Fortune 500 corporations in Information Technology. A summary of my technicalaccomplishments is listed below.Information Security: Between January 1989 and August 1992, my work focused entirely onInformation Security. I initiated and led various database and object security projects for the Army,Navy, Air Force, and the National Security Agency. The topics included secure distributed/federateddatabase management, inference problem, secure multimedia/object-oriented data management, andsecure client-server computing. I designed and supervised the implementation of a prototype securedistributed database system that connected database systems in Bedford, MA, McLean, VA, and FortMonmouth, NJ, the first developed. I also designed centralized and distributed database inferencecontrollers and supervised the implementation of these systems. In addition, I designed a secureobject/multimedia database system and supervised its implementation. Other contributions include theproof of the unsolvability of the inference problem, use of conceptual structures to design securedatabase applications and the development of a logic for secure data and knowledge base managementsystems. Since August 1992, I worked part-time on Information Security. My focus was on theinference problem and object security. I led a team project to investigate security for distributed objectsystems and this work impacted the security standards for the Object Management Group. I providedtechnical direction to DoD projects in database security between March 1991 and September 1996,was a consultant to NSA and mentored junior staff there. Between 1996 and 2001, I continued towork in Information Security by providing direction on the Inference problem to the Air Force andalso examining security issues for XML and web information systems.Data Management, Real-time Systems and Object Technology: My work in data management atMITRE began around August 1992. Since then I have initiated and led projects in real-time databasemanagement and distributed object management for evolvable real-time command and controlsystems, massive multimedia data management for Intelligence applications, and distributed objectmanagement for heterogeneous database integration. In addition, I have initiated and contributed to19
