projects in d<strong>at</strong>a mining and warehousing. As part <strong>of</strong> my work, I have provided direction in d<strong>at</strong>amanagement to the Department <strong>of</strong> Defense and the Intelligence community. In particular, betweenOctober 1993 and March 1999, I was the lead in providing technology direction for the IntelligenceCommunity initi<strong>at</strong>ive on Massive Digital D<strong>at</strong>a Systems. Based on results <strong>of</strong> this effort, and togetherwith the CIA sponsor, we began discussions with DARPA on d<strong>at</strong>a mining in December 1997 andthese discussions eventually led to the EELD program <strong>at</strong> DARPA. Also, between October 1993 andSeptember 1999, I was part <strong>of</strong> a team providing direction for next gener<strong>at</strong>ion real-time d<strong>at</strong>amanagement and object systems for the AWACS project. For this work, I received the MITREProgram Achievement award in 1997. For the work in d<strong>at</strong>a mining and distributed objects, I receivedtwo MITRE Director awards in 1997.Consulting in Inform<strong>at</strong>ion Technology (IRS): Between January 1999 and September 2001, Iconsulted for the Internal Revenue Service by interviewing various Fortune 500 corpor<strong>at</strong>ions on theirresearch and development tax credits. This work utilized my extensive experience in ComputerScience and Inform<strong>at</strong>ion Technology. It also enabled me to obtain an excellent understanding <strong>of</strong> theinternal details <strong>of</strong> d<strong>at</strong>abases, ERP, and e-commerce s<strong>of</strong>tware. Between May 2000 and July 2001, Iworked with a major Fortune 100 corpor<strong>at</strong>ion and the IRS jointly to determine the products th<strong>at</strong> wouldqualify for research tax credit. For this effort, I reviewed numerous products th<strong>at</strong> this companyworked on during FY00 which made me intim<strong>at</strong>ely familiar with the commercial products <strong>of</strong> a majorcorpor<strong>at</strong>ion in the US in Inform<strong>at</strong>ion Technology. This work was reported in the Wall Street Journalin December 2000 and also claimed by the IRS as a success story in a major IRS and Fortune 100meeting in February 2001. As a result <strong>of</strong> this work, I received the MITRE Program Achievementawards in 2002 and 2005.Consultant to Air Force: In May 1999, I was appointed chief scientist/engineer in d<strong>at</strong>a managementin MITRE’s Inform<strong>at</strong>ion Technology Director<strong>at</strong>e and in this position provide d<strong>at</strong>a managementdirection for MITRE’s programs for the Air Force, In addition, I oversaw the inform<strong>at</strong>ion technologytechnical work in the director<strong>at</strong>e in the following areas: inform<strong>at</strong>ion management, e-business and webcomputing, real-time computing, and decision support. I also consulted on MITRE's corpor<strong>at</strong>einiti<strong>at</strong>ives in knowledge management and e-business. Between January 2001 and September 2001, Iwas Vice Chair <strong>of</strong> the D<strong>at</strong>abase Migr<strong>at</strong>ion Panel to the AF Scientific Advisory Board (SAB).Other Consulting: In the 1990s, I consulted on several MITRE projects involving inform<strong>at</strong>ion andd<strong>at</strong>a management sponsored by the Intelligence Community, NASA (EOS project) and FAA.Other Inform<strong>at</strong>ion: My work has resulted in IEEE Computer Society’s 1997 Technical AchievementAward, IEEE’s 2003 Fellow Award, AAAS 2003 Fellow Award, British Computer Society’s 2005Fellow Award, over 300 public<strong>at</strong>ions including over 90 journal articles, 3 s<strong>of</strong>tware p<strong>at</strong>ents and 12books (10 published and 2 in prepar<strong>at</strong>ion). I give tutorials to sponsors <strong>at</strong> conferences, and <strong>at</strong> theMITRE Institute in rel<strong>at</strong>ional d<strong>at</strong>abase management, distributed d<strong>at</strong>abase management, heterogeneousd<strong>at</strong>abase integr<strong>at</strong>ion, real-time d<strong>at</strong>a management, secure d<strong>at</strong>a management, object-oriented d<strong>at</strong>abasemanagement, and d<strong>at</strong>a mining. I have also particip<strong>at</strong>ed in standards efforts including Department <strong>of</strong>the Navy’s D<strong>at</strong>abase Interface Standard and Object Management Group’s real-time and C4I standards.I have given over 150 pr<strong>of</strong>essional present<strong>at</strong>ions including 30 keynote/fe<strong>at</strong>ured addresses <strong>at</strong> majorconferences. In addition, I particip<strong>at</strong>ed in panels <strong>at</strong> the N<strong>at</strong>ional Academy <strong>of</strong> Sciences and the AirForce Scientific Advisory Board.Leadership, Coordin<strong>at</strong>ion: Between March 1996 and September 1997, as head <strong>of</strong> the EvolvableInteroperable Inform<strong>at</strong>ion Systems (EIIS) Initi<strong>at</strong>ive <strong>at</strong> MITRE reporting to the Vice President <strong>of</strong> Researchand Technology, I was responsible for research in d<strong>at</strong>a management, real-time systems, s<strong>of</strong>tware reverseengineering, economic analysis for inform<strong>at</strong>ion system evolution and interoper<strong>at</strong>ion, and objecttechnology and architectures. I worked with the leaders in each <strong>of</strong> these areas. Prior to this responsibility,I led the corpor<strong>at</strong>e initi<strong>at</strong>ive in d<strong>at</strong>a management from September 1994 to March 1996 (which is part <strong>of</strong>EIIS). As a co-director between October 1993 and December 1995, I organized meetings in d<strong>at</strong>a20
management to discuss projects as well as conferences <strong>at</strong> MITRE. Between October 1995 and May 1999,I was actively involved in promoting object technology within MITRE. In this role, I was part <strong>of</strong> aMITRE team working in distributed object management, <strong>at</strong>tending Object Management Group meetingsand particip<strong>at</strong>ing in the real-time SIG <strong>at</strong> OMG. I introduced real-time issues for the common objectrequest broker architecture <strong>at</strong> Object World West 1995, founded the C4I SIG <strong>at</strong> OMG in 1996, andorganized object technology conferences <strong>at</strong> MITREManagement: Between June 1995 and May 1999, as a department manager reporting to the Director <strong>of</strong>the Division, I developed the skills in my department <strong>of</strong> about thirty people in rel<strong>at</strong>ional d<strong>at</strong>a management,object-oriented d<strong>at</strong>a management, distributed object management, distributed d<strong>at</strong>abase management,heterogeneous d<strong>at</strong>abase integr<strong>at</strong>ion, multimedia d<strong>at</strong>a management, d<strong>at</strong>a warehousing, migr<strong>at</strong>ing legacyd<strong>at</strong>abases, d<strong>at</strong>a mining, web technology, d<strong>at</strong>a security, and knowledge management. I formed four groupsin my department each focusing on a subset <strong>of</strong> the above technologies with security cutting across allareas.
