Keynote Speakers
Where else can you find some of the brightest minds this industry has seen? All in the same place at the same time? BEA has arranged this "meeting of the minds" for the sole purpose of sharing with you the wisdom and experience these visionaries possess. It all transpires at BEA eWorld 2003 where pioneers from BEA, HP and Intel will reveal their thoughts on where they've been, what they've seen, and what's coming. Alfred S. Chuang
All three BEA co-founders came from Sun Microsystems, Inc., where Mr. Chuang had built a brilliant nine-year career. He held management positions in the critical areas of software product development, network infrastructure, systems architecture, and operations management. As founder and head of the computer resources center for Sun Intercontinental Operations, he helped establish key subsidiaries in the Pacific Rim. Mr. Chuang was also director of the strategic systems group in Sun's Information Resources Organization, and finally corporate director and chief scientist of SunIntegration Services. Prior to Sun, Mr. Chuang worked for more than 10 years in the commercial computing, software systems research, and systems consulting industries, where, with many published technical papers to his credit, he became a well-known expert on enterprise information technology rightsizing and distributed data management. During this period, he also pioneered and prototyped the implementation of the TCP/IP network on the IBM PC platform. Mr. Chuang received a B.S. in computer science from the University of San Francisco and a master's degree in computer science with specialization in distributed data management from the University of California, Davis. His graduate thesis, "Table-Tabular Data Objects and their Use in Table Editing," remains one of California State Library's most frequently used reference materials on relational database development. Carly S. Fiorina
Since joining HP in July 1999, Fiorina has led HP's reinvention as a company that makes the Internet work for businesses and consumers. Under her leadership, HP has returned to its roots of innovation and inventiveness and is focused on delivering the best total customer experience. Prior to joining HP, Fiorina spent nearly 20 years at AT&T and Lucent Technologies, where she held a number of senior leadership positions in sales and marketing. As President of Lucent's Global Service Provider Business, she expanded the company's international business and spearheaded the planning and execution of its initial public offering and subsequent spin-off from AT&T. Fiorina holds a bachelor's degree in medieval history and philosophy from Stanford University; a master's degree in business administration from the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland at College Park, Md.; and a master of science degree from MIT's Sloan School. In July 2001, she was named an Honorary Fellow of the London Business School. She serves on the board of Cisco Systems and was previously a board member of the Kellogg Company and Merck & Company. John E. Davies
Davies has worked for Intel since 1978, when he joined the company as the Reliability/QA Manager in Intel's Magnetics Division. During his 21 years with Intel, Davies has worked in engineering and manufacturing, as marketing manager for automotive products in Europe, and marketing manager for strategic accounts. Previous, he was director of Marketing for the Mobile Computing Group, and vice president and marketing director for the Consumer Desktop Products group. Most recently, he was vice president and general manager of Intel Asia Pacific Region where he was based in Hong Kong, and then vice president, e-Business Marketing. Prior to joining Intel, Davies worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at IBM in the United States and as a development engineer at Philips in the United Kingdom. Davies was born in London, England, in 1950 and received his B.S. in Chemistry and his Ph.D. in Solid State Physics from Imperial College, London University. Intel has awarded Davies two Individual Achievement Awards for establishing Intel in European automotive markets in 1986, and for driving Intel's mobile computing architecture into the Japanese market in 1992. Scott Dietzen, Ph.D
He is well-known in the Java community for his collaborative role in launching the family of server-side Java standards that became Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE). Dr. Dietzen was also a key contributor in the formation of the Java Community Process. Today, his team is also helping to drive the standardization of the integration market via XML and Web Services technologies. Dr. Dietzen has been working on Internet application infrastructure for the past decade. He came to BEA with the acquisition of WebLogic in 1998. Before joining the WebLogic management team, he was the principal technologist of Transarc, a developer of distributed transaction processing and information sharing systems that was acquired by IBM in 1995. Dr. Dietzen holds a Ph.D. and M.S. in computer science and a B.S. in applied mathematics from Carnegie Mellon University. Adam Bosworth
Mr. Bosworth is widely recognized as a pioneer and key figure in the evolution of XML. Prior to starting Crossgain, he was a senior manager at Microsoft where he drove the company's entire XML program from 1997 through 1999. He was then named General Manager of Microsoft's WebData organization, a team focused on refining the company's long-term XML strategy. While at Microsoft, Mr. Bosworth was also responsible for designing and delivering the Microsoft Access PC Database product, and he managed the development of the HTML engine used in Internet Explorer. Mr. Bosworth holds a BA from Harvard University. John Underkoffler
Formerly, John was a researcher and student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, from which after fifteen years he emerged mildly scathed but with three degrees. During that interval he was associated with the Spatial Imaging Group, where he was responsible for innovations in optical and electronic holography, and then with the Tangible Media Group, where he developed the I/O Bulb concept and prototypes. An application built on this latter system, an Urban Planning simulation workbench called Urp, is in ongoing use as a teaching and research tool in MIT's School of Architecture & Planning. His technology-based art and design works have been exhibited on several continents and have received various awards. |
