Ian FosterDr. Ian t. Foster, Professor at Unviersity of Chicago, 
Director at Computation Institute, & Fellow at Argonne National 
Labotaroty <http://www.mcs.anl.gov/about/people_detail.php?id=285>

Dr. Ian Foster <http://www.mcs.anl.gov/about/people_detail.php?id=285> 
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.

Dr. Radu Sion, Associate Professor at Stony Brook University & CEO of 
Private Machines Inc. <http://digitalpiglet.org>

Radu Sion <http://digitalpiglet.org> is an Associate Professor of 
Computer Science at Stony Brook University (on leave) and currently the 
CEO of Private Machines Inc. He remembers when gophers were digging 
through the Internets and bits were running at slower paces of 512 per 
second. He is also interested in efficient computing with a touch of 
cyber-security paranoia, raising rabbits on space ships and sailing 
catamarans of the Hobie variety. **
