          Ian Foster</a> is Director of the Computation Institute, a
        joint institute of the University of Chicago and Argonne
        National Laboratory. He is also an Argonne Senior Scientist and
        Distinguished Fellow, and the Arthur Holly Compton Distinguished
        Service Professor of Computer Science at University of Chicago.
        He is also involved with both the Open Grid Forum and with the
        Globus Alliance as an open source strategist. In 2006, he was
        appointed director of the Computation Institute, a joint project
        between the University of Chicago, and Argonne. An earlier
        project, Strand, received the British Computer Society Award for
        technical innovation. His research resulted in the development
        of techniques, tools and algorithms for high-performance
        distributed computing and parallel computing. As a result he is
        denoted as "the father of the Grid". Foster led research and
        development of software for the I-WAY wide-area distributed
        computing experiment, which connected supercomputers, databases
        and other high-end resources at 17 sites across North America in
        1995. His own labs, the Distributed Systems Laboratory is the
        nexus of the multi-institute Globus Project, a research and
        development effort that encourages collaborative computing by
        providing advances necessary for engineering, business and other
        fields. Furthermore the Computation Institute addresses many of
        the most challenging computational and communications problems
        facing Grid implementations today. In 2004, he founded Univa
        Corporation, which was merged with United Devices in 2007 and
        operate under the name Univa UD. Foster's honors include the
        Lovelace Medal of the British Computer Society, the Gordon Bell
        Prize for high-performance computing (2001), as well as others.
        He was elected Fellow of the American Association for the
        Advancement of Science in 2003. Dr. Foster also serves as PI or
        Co-PI on projects connected to the DOE global change program,
        the National Computational Science Alliance, the NASA
        Information Power Grid project, the NSF Grid Physics Network,
        GRIDS Center, and International Virtual Data Grid Laboratory
        projects, and other DOE and NSF programs. His research is
        supported by DOE, NSF, NASA, Microsoft, and IBM. </span></p>

      and bits were running at slower paces of 512 per second. He is
      also interested in efficient computing with a touch of
