CAREER SUMMARY

By the numbers I was actively involved in the computing field from 1968 to 2014 so my computing career spanned 46 years. I was involved in industrial computing research for the middle 23 years of my career and taught at the university level for 10 years before and 11 years after (15 years at the graduate level). I was a senior member of technical staff and a research manager for most of 15 years at Texas Instruments, then President of a software research company for eight years. I was involved in standards for 11 years. I worked on DARPA contracts for 13 years. I was a chaired professor for 11 years. Regarding research:  I am an IEEE Fellow (2005) “for contributions to artificial intelligence, database management and middleware.”  I was a pioneer in the development of service-oriented architectures, now a $6B market and growing. I was in on the ground floor of several areas of computing research: Lisp machines, usable natural language interfaces, object-relational and object-oriented databases, hypermedia systems, design patterns, software architecture, distributed object computing including service-oriented architectures and grids, agents, the Internet of Things, RFID middleware, 3D virtual worlds, and gamification. I co-authored 7 reference models that accelerated standards in areas including: service oriented architectures (middleware), agents, and hypermedia.  I was PI or Co-PI on over $18M in total research funding from all external sources (IR&D, DARPA, SBIR, industry, and university). I made contributions to many DoD and DARPA programs including: Ground/Air Interactive Terminal (G/AIT), DARPA/SPAWAR Science of Smart Weapons, DARPA/USAF Robotic Air Vehicles, DARPA Persistent Object Base, Final Report of Rapid Prototyping of Application-Specific Signal Processors (RASSP), DARPA TRP National Industrial Information Infrastructure (NIIIP) Consortium, DARPA TRP Trauma Care Information Management System (TCIMS) Consortium, DARPA Intelligent Collaboration and Visualization Program (IC&V), DARPA Evolutionary Design of Complex Software (EDCS), DARPA Control of Agent-based Systems (CoABS), AFRL Agent-Supported Information Visualization (ASIV) SBIR, DARPA Advanced Logistics Project (ALP), DARPA Ultra*Log Program, DARPA ISO Infrastructure Panel and DARPA Advanced Information Technology Services (AITS), DARPA Dynamic Database Study, DARPA BAA00-20 Dynamic Assembly For Systems Adaptability, DARPA Battle Assessment and Data Dissemination (BADD), Dependability, and Assurance (DASADA). I was funded by industry including: Acxiom, IBM, Oracle and SensorConnect.

Perspectives

Survival Skills Over my career, my research interests expanded in a natural progression: first natural language interfaces and language generation; then relational databases (since they provided a formal language for asking questions); then object-relational databases; then service-oriented architecture; then agents and pervasive computing; 3D virtual worlds; human workflows; and gamification. Each area segued into the next and I’d build significant depth and contribute to that field as a player who worked with other top people in that field. At the same time, my extra- computer skills broadened from teaching and individual research contributor to patents to research manager to PI on DARPA contracts to standards leader to small research business CEO to chaired university professor to expert witness. In general, I found that each step in my career’s progression required new survival skills. Though I learned my skills through experience, I now believe survival skills can be inductively learned and then more rapidly taught. One requirement is to go beyond your comfort zone. Most of the skills are not rocket science but, for example, because of my legal experience with patents, licenses, and as an expert witness, I could often advise colleagues, the university and industry on legal issues. Another example - I could leverage my AI knowledge of planning to understand how to construct a strategic plan for our college of engineering. Note: Periodically in my career, I said to myself … our computing field is expanding fast and I cannot know everything … I will avoid learning about X because it will take me off track. But then within two years I was deeply involved in X. For instance, I did not intend to move from AI to database but, as I was studying AI natural language question answering systems, I got sucked into the database area to understand query languages. Another example - in 1987, because of our Telaction work, I looked into distributed computing – but the literature indicated building distributed applications was painful due to latency and the painful state of software like DCE. I did not then predict that by late 1989 and into the 1990s, I would be helping to birth service-oriented computing. A third example: I consciously avoided the field of graphics though it interested me and even more video games because people can lose years of time in playing and I needed to optimize my time to balance work and life. But, during the middle phases of the Everything is Alive project, after having used agents and RFID to explore pervasive computing, I attended a conference and was exposed to Second Life and immediately converted to exploring how to use 3D virtual worlds to more rapidly explore pervasive computing. Note: At the University I realized that many of my colleagues were narrowly focused and only the most successful built a strong set of survival skills. With all the emphasis on teaching subject matter, student advising was haphazard and our curriculum taught almost no career survival skills. With all the emphasis on research, I was amazed that prestigious NSF research du jour was often the only accepted target and many faculty never talked to industry about real world problems. While I swam upstream in these areas (exposing students to career advising and conversing with industry), I do not think I made an institutional dent – so in my view, there is still much room for improvement in the American university system. Note: When I went from university to industry, I realized that industry is not a respecter of credentials (e.g., degrees) but is focused instead on results (what did you do for me lately?). At the same time, many PhDs are swallowed up into industry and most never return to academia. I deduced that the only way to maintain credibility in both worlds was industrial research on high valued problems and publishing along the way. I could not have returned to university if I had not taken this path. In general, I now believe that the rationale for getting a PhD is unclear to the student and also commonly to their faculty adviser. Most often it is not enunciated. The faculty adviser has significant self-interest in enticing students toward the PhD since that will likely mean a side-kick who does the heavy lifting in time consuming research projects. Of course, there are good reasons to get a PhD but there is a cost in time and money so students should become educated consumers regarding this degree. For me, going on for a PhD was never a question as my first love was research and I stayed in the research end of the pool my whole career.

Standards – really? Especially during the middle of my career, I took an active role in technology transfer, translating results and experience from my research projects on OODBs, service oriented architectures, and agents into contributions to standards bodies. Several reference models resulted. My interest in standards was primarily in anticipatory standards, that is, in shaping a new area so that R&D results could flow directly to industry. This requires having “the big picture” of a subject domain and a good idea of scope and architecture. My approach was to de-construct existing architectures, then re-construct new, more powerful modular ones based on separation of concerns. Why the interest in standards? It’s one of the best places to impact and accelerate progress in a field – a small research effort with significant expertise can influence the direction of a new area of industry and leave its imprint. In addition, this is a route to taking research results right to industry’s top architects. Academics tend to undervalue standards, preferring to focus on archival journals (which more often than not have surprisingly tiny readership) and have at best an indirect influence on industry direction. I don’t argue not to publish, but I do argue that the value of publishing is to influence communities and transfer knowledge for use by others and there are more ways to do this than just archival journals.

Regrets and Lessons Learned I made some mistakes during my career and learned some lessons:  1970s –I was slow off the mark to finish my PhD. My writing skills had not matured. A big mistake was to pick a subject I really cared about (computational linguistics) but an advisor who was anything but. The silver lining was that I learned research skills and the literature pretty much self-taught but this cost me some years. Still, this learning experience helped me later to dig deep into new fields and also to enunciate the concept of survival skills needed in different phases of a career.  1980s – I should have opted for the TI management ladder three years before I did instead of just climbing the technical ladder. It is better to have both knowledge power and also organizational management power since you can more easily accomplish your goals with both kinds of power. Lesson learned.  1990s – My company OBJS was a research and standards leader but my partners were not interested in commercializing our technology. Lesson learned. My main career regret was not getting to ride a technology into commercial success.  2000s – At UARK, I aimed to be very student research centric and tried to build industry-university research relationships instead of continuing to aim just at winning prestigious NSF grants. From my point of view, this was a worthwhile experiment and UARK did not complain overmuch but I was swimming against the traditional academic current. No real regrets here.

Contributions Some of the research contributions I am proud of were minor, never reported, or never heralded but a few were significant for the computing field:  1980 – My MS student Elliot Evans developed (one of?) the first PC-based relational database systems based on my SURLY specification, which was a very good class project.  1982-1986 – My Relational Table Management System (RTMS) for the Lisp Machine took direct benefit of the powerful object-oriented Lisp flavor system and so was (one of?) the first commercial object- relational database management systems.  1983 – In the pre-Siri days of natural language question answering, such interfaces were remarkably ineffective. So our invention of menu-based natural language interfaces was a big step forward since every query or command from a user was meaningful and actionable by the system. With a predictive attributed grammar parser that could mirror a domain model, the technology was elegant and might have made a bigger difference if TI had not patented. On that point, our 1983 patents were some of the early software patents.  1984 – I finally published a paper on my late 1970s work on object-oriented text generation.  1984 or so – Realizing that query processing could be viewed as planning, I wrote a white paper (now lost in history) aimed at demonstrating that a cost-based query planning approach to query optimization. It

Page 5 Curriculum Vita – Craig Thompson

was not funded. Within ten years, the older ad hoc method of query processing was displaced by a planning- and cost-based method.  1986 – With RTMS, a user could define their own tuple and index storage methods and extend the query language - a paper we wrote that year demonstrated doing this to build keyword-in-context indices which unified relational databases and information retrieval systems in a very straightforward manner. Also useful for geographic indices.  1987 – The World Wide Web was invented in 1989-1990 and it was several years later that electronic commerce took off. But, our older work on JC Penney’s Telaction project field tested a wide area net shopping mall in 1987. JC Penney pockets were not deep enough to go on with the project and it was cable and touch tone phone based (and not Internet, Web and mouse based). So my tombstone can say, He did not invent the World Wide Web or electronic commerce. But we Neanderthals almost did. A few Telaction videos are available on youtube.  1987 – Another TI researcher Doug Matzke and I developed working implementation of incremental algorithms – the approach involved fine-grained change management (keeps) and memoization. Matzke went on to apply the approach to build a very efficient incremental RTL simulator based on lazy evaluation. No written documentation remains.  1985-1995 – Our Zeitgeist OODB (Lisp) and DARPA Open OODB (C++) were very seamlessly spliced into the host languages as our 1993 sentry patent describes. Too bad for us and for DARPA that TI made a business decision not to go into this market. Still, TI leaving the software market was our reason to start OBJS, our small research company, so that was a silver lining.  Most of my contributions between 1989 and 2000 were aimed at impacting the fledgling field of software architectures, especially middleware: o 1988-2000 – I authored glossaries for OODBs, componentware, and agents that were useful to several different standards communities. o 1989-1990 – My TI technical report (1989) on a modular database that used a service bus was a significant was presented at OMG and was a significant influence on OMG’s object management architecture, the first industry service-oriented architecture. An interesting aspect of this work was generally useful insight into software architectures – you can often deconstruct a system into capabilities, then generalize, add or remove some of the capabilities to build a family story. This deconstruct-reconstruct approach is helpful in building enterprise systems with limited resources – you can over design and then build a system as resources permit while avoiding rework due to cross-cutting design decisions. o 1990-1992 – In 1990 and 1991, our OODB project published a series of module specifications that all used the same descriptive template (later called a design pattern). In 1992, I edited and contributed to the OMG Object Services Architecture document, which was a compendium of design patterns that drove OMG service standardization efforts for much of the 1990s. The Gang of Four book that popularized the term design patterns came out in 1994. [Jeff Eisen’s MIT MS thesis on cache management systems (1986) was the first design pattern document I supervised; later ones covered change management systems, object query systems, and hypermedia systems.] o 1989-1998 – During this period, I contributed to several efforts to define standard software reference architectures: Zeitgeist and DARPA Open OODB (1986-1995), OODB Task Group (1989-1991), OMG Object Management Architecture and Object Services Architecture (1990- 1992), DARPA I**3, NIIIP, and others. I co-organized the Workshop on Application Integration Architectures (1992), presented at the First International Workshop on Architectures for Software Systems (1995), co-organized several DARPA Open OODB workshops, the W3C-OMG Workshop on Distributed Objects and Mobile Code (1996), and the OMG-DARPA Workshop on Compositional Architectures (1998). o 1990-1991 – I presented on Open OODB and object service architectures at early meetings of LTC Erik Mettala’s domain-specific software architectures DARPA program. o Early-to-mid 1990s – During this time, the DARPA stable of security researchers argued loudly that security must be built into any system from the ground up. It was clear to me that services

Page 6 Curriculum Vita – Craig Thompson

like encryption were modular and could be injected into communication paths. And they were not unique – replication and a collection of other non-functional properties of architectures could be delivered this way. Our 1993 sentry patent showed a way to splice these “aspects” into a modular service-oriented architecture. Our 1997 paper at OMG provided a long list of “-ilities” (that around the same time Gregor Kiczales was calling aspect-oriented programming). o 1997-1999 – Frank Manola and I pointed out to several communities the benefits of federation and replication as an approach to scaling and reliability. This helped push the grid concept, which is a technical basis for cloud computing along with the more basic idea of service oriented architectures. Note: as late as 2004, an NSF high performance computing program manager visited U Arkansas and argued the need for a dominance of specialty high performance machines. I made the same argument I had made many years before, that there were two ways to scale – make a thing bigger or aim for a cluster of commodity things. Since the commodity machines are already programmable by anyone and not a dedicated few, that approach will win. And it has, of course. o 1998 – When XML was first on the scene, I was annoyed by DOM’s semanticless parsing model so I discussed with Paul Pazandak that he could build a parsing model based on events and domain object models. This was before SAX parsers. o 1998-1999 – There is a lot of press these days on the dark web. Tom Bannon and I recognized that, at that time, search engines could not mine the deep web and we provided a Deep Search engine that could do that, recursively searching websites, dynamically constructing web services, and locating structured objects that could be further mined.  Everything is Alive (EiA) umbrella project o 1999 – My EiA project got its start with a proposal to DARPA in January 1999. Later that year, Kevin Ashton coined the term Internet of Things with the same goals – wireless Internet-enabled things. o 2000-2005 – Initially, our EiA project focused on military applications, a wireless distributed agent architecture, and how to dynamically add or remove capabilities from distributed agents – so you could send an agent a capability like playing chess or a medical procedure as in the matrix. At first, we could install new capabilities in agents but not remove them. Then undergraduate Minh Vu spent a summer re-engineering the Eclipse framework to enable dynamically adding and removing modules (services). One Eclipse agent demonstration loaded and later unloaded the Java Swing library. o 2005-2008 – We added RFID to the mix and built TagCentric, an open source RFID agent middleware service-oriented architecture available on SourceForge. o 2008-2014 – I realized that one of the better ways to explore a future IoT world is by using 3D virtual worlds where you can provide identity, add programmable actions, and capture streams of data from any data source (object/thing) to model a smart semantic world. We localized our research to healthcare applications since that is a high value application with near term benefits that can be segued to the real world. I organized one of the first conferences on virtual world architectures (the X10 workshop). o 2010-2012 – Akihiro Eguchi provided several demonstrations of smart objects in a 3D virtual world. Keith Perkins and Akihiro then focused their work on how to capture and model common sense workflows (what Roger Schank called scripts). Keith focused on workflow representation and generation in a 3D virtual world and Akihiro demonstrated workflow recognition and learning (using Kinect gesture recognition and sequences). Progress in object recognition will rapidly change the world; progress on recognizing workflows is “the rest of the story” as Paul Harvey would say. Our work was in the vanguard of this area.  2003-2014 – Also during this period, we demonstrated synthetic data generation for big data problems and how to automate the generation of complex workflows in large grid clusters.

Phase I – 1967-1981 – College, Grad school and Instructor at U Tennessee Knoxville Summary: At Stanford, as a freshman, I took an honors seminar on continental drift (then a new idea) from Dr. Alan Cox, a leader in that area and later head of the Geophysics department. He encouraged me to continue in that direction which was tempting since my father was a geologist, meteorologist, and oceanographer. But instead I chose to major in math, which I was good at but I had no clear idea of what one did with a math degree (poor advising ?!). As a sophomore, I took a graduate introduction to computing – there was no undergraduate major back then – and I almost failed but Dr. Jack Herriot did not allow me to drop and toward the end of the course I “got it” and subsequently took other graduate computing courses from Drs. Don Knuth, Patrick Suppes, George Forsythe, and Edward Feigenbaum. With summer jobs in the computing area, I soon had a clear idea of what one could do with a computing degree. Thinking hard about grand challenges for my career ahead, I considered cosmology, atomic physics, but settled on artificial intelligence, especially natural language processing – an area that could provide a career’s worth of challenges. I scored 1600 on the GRE and received several acceptances for grad school but chose UT Austin. At Austin, I initially accepted a TA position – I was miserably shy initially but adapted quickly. For my research, I was interested in computational linguistics. My graduate advisor was anything but – still I slowly self-taught myself to read the natural language research literature and I began to contribute to the field . I was in grad school at Austin from 1971-1977, got married in 1974, had a first child in 1977, and worked as an instructor in the Computer Science Department at U Tennessee Knoxville from 1977-1981 but also taught the graduate AI course. My research focus at Tennessee was text generation. Never having had a database course, I was interested in queries (because of similarities to natural language question answering) so I read the database research literature and also taught the graduate database course. Along the way, I designed a student project that led to one of the first PC-based relational database systems.

Design for a PC-based relational DBMS, thereafter implemented as dozens of class projects.

Phase II – 1981-1986 – the first five years at Texas Instruments in Dallas Summary: While I enjoyed teaching a UT Knoxville (1977-1981), my real interest was research so when I learned that Texas Instruments had started an AI Lab, I interviewed and was invited on board to begin Phase II of my career. During this phase, I developed one of the first object-relational database products (RTMS) and co-invented menu-based natural language interfaces (MBNLI). I published a lot of papers on MBNLI, a few on RTMS, and contributed to product releases for both. Software was just beginning to be patented in the early 1980s – two patents during this phase. I also took courses on technical writing and became the principal author and lead on research projects’ Independent Research and Development (IR&D) Project Reports between 1984 and 1990. I was also involved in co-authoring DoD several proposals for TI’s Defense Systems and Electronics Group (DSEG). My MBNLI demo helped with the Ground/Air Interactive Terminal aimed for use on AWACS of that era.

RTMS – an object-relational DBMS for the Explorer Lisp Machine – 1981-1987 Summary: My first project at TI in 1982 was a prototype relational database system for the Lisp Machine, which led to productization of the Relational Table Management System in 1986. RTMS could store any Lisp data type (via flavor objects) and users could define their own indices. 1985-09 – conference paper – Rajiv Enand, Craig Thompson. “Towards a Real-Time Data Model,” International Industrial Controls Conference/Controls West, Long Beach, CA, September 16-18, 1985, pp. 230-234. 1986-03 – software release and manual – Craig Thompson, Steve Corey, M.

Rajinikanth, Prasanta Bose, Steve Martin, Rajiv Enand, R. Roberts, Rusty Lewis, Sang Cha. “RTMS: Toward Close Integration between Database and Application,” Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, January 6-9, 1987.

Menu-based Natural Language Interfaces (MBNLI) – Explorer Lisp Machine Product – 1982-1986 Summary: This technology was really innovative! Traditional type-in natural language interfaces were a failure because users overshot or undershot the capabilities of the NLI systems but our MBNLI technology made it easy for end users to ask complex questions that were always understood by the system. We used a predictive attribute grammar parser and a domain model to build an interface where users selected next word or phrase to build a query. 1983-00 – software demo in support of TI proposal – Craig Thompson – “Ground/Air Interactive Terminal (G/AIT)” DoD contract for TI DSEG, $48M award, 1983. Developed a demo of a military AWACS application of MBNLI+RTMS+Graphics Editor running on a Lisp Machine to win this proposal. An AWACS user could ask questions

Co- authored spatial database sections of winning proposal. 1984-00 – $20M TI DSEG proposal and contract– Craig Thompson, Spatial Database section of Science of Smart Weapons, Phase I DARPA/SPAWAR proposal, $20M award, TI DSEG, 1984. 1985 – $tbd TI DSEG proposal and contract – “DARPA/USAF Robotic Air Vehicles.’ Provided spatial database and menu-based natural language technology. 1985-12 – journal paper – Harry Tennant, Roger Bate, Steve Corey, Dave Davis, Paul Kline, Lamot Oren, M. Rajinikanth, Rick Saenz, Dan Stenger, Craig Thompson. “Software Innovations for the Texas Instruments Explorer Computer,” Proceedings of the IEEE, Vol. 73, No. 12, December, 1985, pp. 1771-1790. I wrote sections on two of the three products I developed for the Texas Instruments Explorer Lisp Machine: the Relational Table Management System (RTMS, arguably the first object-oriented database) and the Menu-based Natural Language Interface System (NLMenu). 1986-03 – software release – Jeff Eisen*, Craig Thompson. “Tree Editor,” TI Explorer Lisp Machine, 1986. Conceived and directed development of this product. It was used to display parse trees, query trees, and for other tree visualization applications. Developer defined accessor functions that made their data structures viewable as a tree so a common utility could display trees implemented via different application data structures.

Phase III – 1986-1995 – the final ten years at Texas Instruments in Dallas Summary: To kick off Phase III of my career, in 1994 TI Research VP George Heilmeier (former head of ARPA) tasked me to lead work at TI on object-oriented databases (OODBs) in support of TI CAD applications. I realized OODBs might or might not need persistence, queries, change management or other functional capabilities – so my puzzle became how to build a modular OODB. From 1985-1989, our team worked on the Lisp-based Zeitgeist OODB for TI’s DROID CAD application. I also led a team working on hypermedia systems and developed and deployed a retail store management system for the JC Penney Telaction system in 1987, similar to the WWW (1990) and retail on the web (1993ff) but based on cable TV and touch tone phones. In 1988-1990, I was active in early OODB standard efforts as a lead in the X3/SPARC/OODB Task Group. In December 1989, I wrote a TI technical report describing an object service bus architecture. Soon after, the architecture was presented to nascent Object Management Group and I was invited as one of a gang of six to co-author the OMG Reference Architecture in 1990 (an object service bus with services accessible from the bus), which was the first service- oriented architecture (SOA). Also in 1990, based on the tech report and a proposal that I co-authored, DARPA funded the DARPA Open OODB effort which led to a five year project. In 1991-1992, I was editor for the OMG Object Services Architecture which identified services that OMG later standardized (2-3 years before the Gamma design patterns book). Thereafter, for the rest of Phase III, I was involved in several DARPA and standards efforts and the software release of the Open OODB Toolkit.

Independent Research and Development (IR&D) Project Reports – 1984-1990 – $5.4M Summary: These annual IR&D Brochure technical reports summarized in detail my research team’s annual progress and plans. As an incentive for research that has potential military significance, companies were reimbursed for research dollars spent, based on IR&D report scores and project size. Each report was reviewed and scored for technical significance and technology transfer impact by three or more DoD technical specialists. A score above 8 is excellent; my average score was 8.34/10. Each report required 100-150 hours to prepare. There were no reports after 1990 because, by then, our research was externally funded. 1984-00 – $TBD – Craig Thompson, “Knowledge-Based Systems Branch,” 1984 IR&D Report, Computer Science Lab, Texas Instruments. Score unknown. 1985-00 – $2M – Craig Thompson, “Knowledge-Based Systems Branch,” 1985 IR&D Report, Computer Science Lab, Texas Instruments. Score: 8.1.

Hypermedia-related – 1986-1990 Summary: My tombstone might read, “He didn’t invent the World Wide Web.” But we came close with Telaction, which was ahead of its time (and based on the wrong platform ). 1986-01 – presentation – Craig Thompson, “Towards a Fileless Environment-The Missing Hypermedia Layer,” invited for: Computer Science Department Colloquium Series, The University of Texas, Dallas, January 24, 1986. 1987 – $20K Telaction prototyping contract and proposal – Steve Wilson at TelAction, a JC Penney subsidiary, was developing an interactive home shopping cable channel in 1987. The concept: a home user watches cable TV and uses a touch tone phone to navigate e-stores. Our role: Rusty Lewis and I championed the TelAction opportunity at TI: under a $20K prototyping contract, we led our hypermedia project to develop an electronic mall retail store authoring system; I was lead on interacting with TI product group to write a proposal: Craig Thompson, M. Morrison, C. A. Thorne, R. Tigue. TI TelAction Store Management System, TI proposal for TelAction Corporation, Shaumburg, Illinois, 60173, December, 1987 (sadly lost in time). The Telaction prototype system was field tested in Chicago. A follow-on contract was not awarded since TelAction did not survive a downturn in the economy. Two videos are all that remain of Telaction: (.mp4/youtube, 09:58 and .mp4/youtube, 01:13, September 1987). This wide-area-net hypermedia project used for retail was ahead of its time. The WWW wasn’t developed until two-to-three years later and was not used for retail for several years after that. 1987-03 – presentation –J.

Zeitgeist OODB – 1986-1990 Summary: TI did not allow us to take our research with us when we left in 1995 so I do not have copies of many of the early papers in this and the next section. As already mentioned, we worked on a TI internal project to provide a Lisp-based OODB (Zeitgeist) to our CAD facility (DROID) in the 1996-1990 time frame. In 1989, I drafted a technical report that described services on a bus architecture that was presented to OMG in early 1990 and influenced the OMG object service architecture.. 1986-01 – journal paper – Craig Thompson. “Object-Oriented Databases,” Texas Instruments Engineering Journal, Vol. 3, No. 1, January-February, 1986. 1986-05 – journal paper – Robert Hewes, Satish Thatte, Craig Thompson, P.

DARPA Open Object-Oriented Database (OODB) Phase I and II – DARPA POB/I**3 – TI contracts $5.5M – 1990- 1995 Summary: DARPA was interested in “megaprogramming” – programming with reliable reusable components (what came to be known as middleware that accelerated the pace of system software development) and our OODB work and service bus was a potential solution to big DoD enterprise architecture problems and also an early NoSQL big data solution (but still compatible with relational approach) – so they funded our project starting in 1990 in the DARPA persistent object base program. TI decided it was getting out of the military and software businesses in 1993-4 so some of our team left TI in 1995 with DARPA’s blessing and formed Object Services and Computing (OBJS). 1989-12 – $3.1M TI proposal and contract – Craig Thompson, David Wells, S. Thatte. “Open Zeitgeist: A Modular Object-Oriented Database System,” TI Proposal No 39-R89 BAFO submitted in response to DARPA/ISTO BAA 89-05 Persistent Object Base (POB).

Erik Mettala, Deputy Directory, DARPA/SISTO, then Gio Wiederhold. COTR: Steve Turczyn, U. S. Army CECOM, Fort Monmouth, N. J, then later Morton Hirschberg, ARL, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD. The project developed the idea and a reference implementation of an object services architecture (OSA), an object bus plus object services, later evolved by OMG to CORBA and CORBAservices. Demonstrated a modular OODB-RDB hybrid with reasonable performance. My role: principal author of both the Phase I and II proposals, project manager, co-architect with David Wells, co-inventor, led technology transfer effort, influenced relevant standards, long and short range planning, administration. In addition was responsible for Monthly Reports No. 1-36, Quarterly Reviews No. 1-12, Annual Research Summaries, and organizing the DARPA Open OODB Workshops, 1990-93.

ANSI X3 Database Systems Study Group (DBSSG) Object-Oriented Database Task Group (OODBTG) – 1989-1991 Summary: The mission of ANSI X3/DBSSG OODB Task Group was to characterize what OODBs are so that a new industry could form. Based on our Zeitgeist OODB and DARPA Open OODB experience, we recommended an open modular object-based services architecture. This architecture ended up influencing the OMG Object Management Architecture’ service-oriented architecture (the first in industry) more than it did the Object Data Management Group (ODMG), which developed monolithic OODB standards. Bill Kent (HP) was OODBTG chair; I was vice-chair. The main result of OODBTG was a Final Report of the ANSI X3/SPARC/DBSSG Object-Oriented Database Task Group, distributed as NIST Technical Report and as OMG Document 1989/89-10-02 and OMG 1992/92-2-05.. The report covered two year’s work, characterizes OODBs, and recommended standards in the OODB area. The document was distributed to over 1000 people and influenced ANSI X3, Object Management Group. The Task Group effort led to the formation of ANSI X3H7 Technical Committee on Object Information Management. My role: one of five of the original co-authors of the Reference Model for Object Data Management which characterized OODBs as a collection of modular capabilities (now called services); aligned with and influenced by our Open OODB architecture; using a design space methodology I developed; influenced OMG OSA architecture. I also coauthored Recommendations for Standards in the OODB Area, a Survey of OODB Systems, and an OODB Glossary based on my DARPA Open OODB Glossary. I also organized one of two OODBTG-sponsored workshops on OODBs and wrote the workshop summaries that appear in the OODBTG Final Report. 1990-05 – OODBTG standards document, workshop report, journal paper – Craig Thompson, First Workshop on OODB Standardization, Atlantic City, NJ, May 22, 1990.

Object Management Group (OMG) – 1990-1995 Summary: During the time I spent working with OMG (1990-2001), it grew to be the software industry's largest open standards development organization with over 800 member organizations. Its mission was and is to develop a modular suite of service-oriented architecture design patterns and standardize interface specifications for distributed object middleware in order to promote enterprise integration, application portability, and system interoperability. This standardization process makes applications faster and easier to build, more reliable, and more understandable. Out of the middleware industry grew many billion dollar application architectures including today’s enterprise architectures, grid, and cloud computing. My role: TI representative 1990-1995, OBJS representative 1995-2002. I was an active contributor to OMG beginning in 1990, nearly at the beginning, co- authoring and editing a number of key OMG documents that helped shaped the OMG architectural landscape. I participated in OMG Object Services Task Force (OSTF), OMG Common Facilities Task Force (CFTF), OMG Object Model Task Force (OMTF), OMG Standards Liaison Subcommittee and was organizer and co-chair of the OMG Internet Special Interest Group (1995-1998) and OMG Agent Working Group, 1998-2002 (both covered separately below). My involvement at OMG began after I authored a TI technical report Open Architecture for Object- Oriented Database Systems which Jose Blakeley presented at the second OMG meeting in Austin before there was an OMG architecture. The report described a componentized database architecture using an object bus with services hanging off the bus. Drafts of this report were circulated with OMG (OMG document 1990/90-01-06) and led to my being one of five co-authors of the original OMG Reference Model, part of the OMG Object Management Architecture Guide, widely circulated in industry, providing the basic architecture for OMG (CORBA backplane plus object services). Industry’s first service-oriented middleware architecture. Appears as a chapter in a James Martin book on object-oriented technology. Later versions: 92-09, 95-05. In 1991-1992, I was editor of the OMG Object Services Architecture, Versions 3.0-6.0, OMG document 92-08-04, Object Management Group, 1992 (72 pages), also widely circulated in industry. This document formed the basis for a series of OMG Object Services Task Force

Page 18 Curriculum Vita – Craig Thompson

RFPs resulting in the COSS-1, COSS-2, COSS-3, and COSS-4 specifications (aka CORBAservices). The OSA document provided the blueprint for the middleware industry; it defined design patterns for several services as well as being a predecessor to today’s web services (several years before the gang of four’s book on design patterns. Later version: OMG Object Services Architecture v8.0 draft, December 1994. During the 1990-1995 time period, I also submitted several technical documents in response to OMG RFIs or RFPs: an object query service, a change management reference model, and a rule management facility. 1990-09 – OMG standards document and book chapter – William Andreas, Goeff Lewis, Matthew Mathews, Lee Scheffler, R. Soley, Craig Thompson, “Reference Model,” Object Management Architecture Guide, Object Management Group document 1990/90-09-01. Known as the OMA Guide, this document was drafted at an invited meeting in Boston in 1990 and became the OMG Bible in the 1990s, widely circulated in industry, providing the basic architecture for OMG (CORBA backplane plus object services), that is, this architecture was the computing industry’s first service-oriented middleware architecture (SOA). Appears as a chapter in a James Martin book on object-oriented technology. Later versions: 92-09, 95-06, 96-08. 1991-01 – OMG standards document – Craig Thompson, et. al.,. “Inter-relationships among OO Reference Models Session Discussion,” Workshop on Objects in Data Management, Proceedings of the Third Joint Meeting in Anaheim, California, sponsored by X3/SPARC Database Systems Study Group, January 14-15, 1991. 1991-05 – OMG standards document – Craig Thompson, “Position Paper: Choice of Object Model for OMG – Concepts for the Ubiquitous Object Model (UOM),” OMG Document 1991/91-05-01, submitted in response to OMG Object Model Task Force Request for Information (OMG Document 91-01-11), May 1991. Recommends that OMG accept multiple object models, not develop YAOM (yet-another-object-model). Instead, they developed IDL and bundled in distribution to form the CORBA specification. The two specifications should have been separated. 1992-02 – OMG standards document – Craig Thompson, “Response to the Object Services RFI” (OMG Document 1992/92-02-18) and “DARPA Open OODB System General Overview” (OMG Document 92-02-19) submitted in response to OMG Object Services Task Force Request for Information (OMG Document 1991/91-11-06). Our submission described a services architecture. Most of the Open OODB services (events, externalization, persistence, transactions, queries, change management) are now part of the “OMG Object Services Architecture” as are the architecture principles we contributed, which are now part of every OMG RFP. 1992-08 – OMG standards document – Craig Thompson (editor). OMG Object Services Architecture, Versions 3.0- 6.0, OMG document 92-08-04, Object Management Group, 1992 (72 pages). Widely circulated in industry. Document formed the basis for a series of OMG Object Services Task Force RFPs resulting in the COSS-1, COSS-2, COSS-3, and COSS-4 specifications (aka CORBAservices). Provided the blueprint for the middleware industry; predecessor to today’s web services.

Phase IV – 1995-2003 – eight years as President of Object Services and Consulting (OBJS) Summary: In a series of meetings in 1993-1994, TI determined not to productize the DARPA Open OODB beta release (they were getting out of the DoD and software businesses), so in Phase IV of my career, I left to start Object Services and Consulting with co-founders David Wells and Steve Ford. I served as President of OBJS for the next eight years. My work during this time divides more-or-less into two phases: 1995-1998 when I was focused on scaling SOA architectures to the Internet and 1998-2003 when I was focused on extending SOA architectures in several ways – aspects, agents, and the Internet of Things (a term that was coined sometime in 1999 at MIT).

1995-1998 Summary: During this time, I was PI on the DARPA contract “Scaling Object Service Architectures to the Internet.” I organized two well-attended workshops, one on mobile code sponsored by W3C and OMG and another on compositional software architectures sponsored by DARPA and OMG; organized and led the OMG Internet Special Interest Group; and worked with several DARPA programs, standards, and industry groups to transition SOA ideas.

Scaling Object Service Architectures to the Internet – DARPA Intelligent Collaboration and Visualization Program (IC&V) contract – 1995-1999 – $2.8M proposal and contract The purpose of this contract was to demonstrate how to compose object service architecture componentware modules (OSA later aka SOAs) can compose into systems that interoperate across the Internet. Identified the Intermediary Architecture (IA), which is a way to add middleware services via a series of Web proxies, providing a way to scale OSAs to the Internet. Our DARPA proposal was in response to BAA94-28 Intelligent Collaboration and Visualization Program. Resulted in three-year DARPA contract DAAL01-95-C-0112. $2.8M, Contract Duration: 29 September 1995 – 28 September 1998 with contract extension into mid-1999. DARPA Program Managers Dave Gunning, Barry Leiner, and Kevin Mills. ARL COTR: Morton Hirschberg. My role: coauthored the proposal; responsible for Monthly Reports #1-42, Semiannual Reports #1-7, Annual Reports #1-3. Reviews at DARPA/ISO I3 PI Meetings and at ARL: San Diego, Dallas, Miami Beach, review, San Diego, review; and I presented the final review and authored the Final Report. 1996-10 – OBJS technical reports – Craig Thompson, S.

Object Management Group (cont.) – 1995-2001 1997-09 – OMG standards document –Craig Thompson, T. Linden, Robert Filman, “Thoughts on OMA-NG: The Next Generation Object Management Architecture,” OMG doc ormsc 97-09-01, September 1997. Presentation. I presented this OMG green paper (architecture paper) to OMG Object Model and Reference Model Subcommittee (ORMSC) as a step toward the first major revision of the OMG OMA in eight years. The paper describes limitations of the then-current OMA architecture (what it does not explain) and suggests extensions in the areas of fundamental concepts, dispatch mechanisms, composition/containment model, federation, -ilities, packaging, interoperation, and the economy of componentware. Several of the suggestions were adopted into the OMG ORMSC green paper.

OMG Internet Special Interest Group (ISIG) – 1995-1998 The aim of the OMG Internet Special Interest Group (ISIG) was to unify Internet and Web technology with OMG object services technology, a progenitor of web services. ISIG was home to several active working groups: Compositional Software Architectures, Computer Supported Cooperative Work, Web-OMA Integration Architectures, Object Transfer and Manipulation Facility, and Agents (prior to the formation of the OMG Agent SIG – see below).

1998-2003 Summary: During this time, I was PI on the DARPA contract “Agility: Agent Ility Architecture” which was a move toward viewing agents as a route to installing SOA architectures as the base argument for an Internet of Things (see my “Everything is Alive” white paper, Jan 1999). To transfer the technology ideas, I co-chaired the OMG Agent SIG and worked with other DARPA and AFRL programs.

Agility: Agent -Ility Architecture – DARPA Control of Agent-based Systems (CoABS) contract – 1998-2002 – $1.9M proposal and contract The objective of the Agility project was to develop a light-weight agent grid architecture and implementation that is scalable and potentially pervasive by virtue of piggybacking on existing and emerging standards (e.g., email, web,

Page 26 Curriculum Vita – Craig Thompson search engines, Java, JINI, XML, distributed objects). Ility referred to non-functional architectural properties like reliability and security , the same idea as aspects (in aspect oriented programming). Agility agent grid components were stand-alone useful but also composable with the CoABS grid (which Global Infotech developed.) The project developed three modules (described I the Final Report):  eGents Prototype – The eGents system provides a scalable way to send (FIPA or KQML) agent communication language (ACL) messages encoded in XML by email, providing a light-weight agent platform that inherits many benefits from email: pervasiveness, disconnected messaging, security, firewall access, mobile users, logging, visualization. Using eGents, anyone with email can create an agent service that anyone else can use. Adding eGent software to a real world thing made it into an object in the Internet of Things sense. This capability was used in several later military application demonstrations (CoAX, JBI, and SUO – see below).  WebTrader and DeepSearch Prototypes – WebTrader is a trader which relies on web-based search engines to locate advertisements (want ads, classifieds) represented in XML that reside on pages anywhere on the web. The architecture is scalable by virtue of web search engines and federation is supported by means of advertisements for other webtraders and search engines. Using WebTrader, anyone on the Web can advertise a resource (e.g., agent, service, data source) that anyone else can discover. DeepSearch is an application of WebTrader which locates relevant local search engines on the web and recursively searches these.  AgentGram Prototype – Using menu-based natural language interfaces (MBNLI), end users select words and phrases from menus to construct sentences the system will understand – this takes the guess work out of NLI technology. AgentGram enables humans to query agents and other internet resources across the web using constrained natural language. AgentGram uses MBNLI and dynamically loaded grammars attached to agents to permit complex queries that may involve knowledge of several agents and provides a way for humans to task agents and for agents to communicate with each other. MBNLI overview. “Agentgram ODBC import demo” (.avi, 00:33), March 2000. This video shows how to build a menu-based natural language portable specification. In addition to prototypes, we participated in four technology integration experiments (TIEs): Non Combatant Evacuation Order (NEO), MIATA hurricane disaster recovery, CoAX Coalition, and Joint Battlespace Infosphere (JBI) Small Unit Operation (SUO) .

Phase V – 2003-2014 (and beyond) – University of Arkansas Summary: In 2003, I changed gears and returned from industry to academia landing in the CSCE Department at the University of Arkansas. As an endowed chair, I oversaw student projects on many topics. Most of my research focused on my Everything is Alive umbrella research project, a project begun in 1998-1999, directly aligned with the Internet of Things (a term coined at MIT sometime in 1999). Our EiA project initially focused on things, services, and agents, then focused on RFID middleware, then in 2008 and onwards morphed to using 3D virtual worlds as a testbed for IoT smart objects in a semantic world. I was especially interested in human workflows – representing, simulating, and learning complex sequences of everyday actions, an area I expect to mature and change the world in the next five-to-ten years. Also, in those years, I successfully learned the ropes to become an expert witness in patent infringement lawsuits. In the final years at UARK, I found myself writing more and more letters of reference, the department’s successful ABET accreditation reports, and led a strategic planning effort for the UARK College of Engineering – so it was nice to retire to relative oblivion in August 2014 at age 65.

Phase VI – 2002-2014 – Expert Witness Summary: I fell into expert witness work by accident, a phone call out of the blue regarding my expertise in database interfaces on the Howrey case below. After our win in the Wilmer-Hale case, I began to receive many offers but limited my involvement to cases that involved interesting topics and mostly summer work. Some cases were high profile. To be a good expert witness, you need to be honest, have credentials, understand the technology and history, be a good writer, be thoughtful, personable, patient, unflappable, and above all be prepared since millions or billions of dollars can hang on your testimony.

Howrey LLP – 2002-2003 – Fact witness in a patent infringement case representing the defendant in Business Objects v MicroStrategies. Case involved easy-to-use database interfaces. Demonstrated that an earlier technology might invalidate the plaintiff’s patent. Deposition. Case settled a week later. [Humorously: my

Page 46 Curriculum Vita – Craig Thompson demonstration involved showing that all examples in the plaintiff’s patent could have been demonstrated using the 1986 Explorer Menu-based Natural Language System, which involved sitting in dark room for a week running examples on a then-ancient Explorer Lisp Machine – so I was probably the last person employed to program a Lisp Machine.] Jones Day – 2003 – Consultant in a patent infringement case representing the defendant in Intergraph v Texas Instruments. Settled. King and Spalding LLP – 2005 – Consultant in a patent infringement case involving Software AG v BRA Systems. Settled. Wilmer-Hale – 2006 – Noninfringement expert witness in a patent infringement case representing the defendant in Hyperion v OutlookSoft. Case involved spreadsheet access, caching, and multidimensional DBMS systems. Wrote Noninfringement Expert Report. Examined as noninfringement expert in jury trial in Marshall, TX. Defendant won on non-infringement and invalidity! At that time, the plaintiff almost always won such cases. Wong, Cabello, Lutsch, Rutherford & Brucculeri, L.L.P. – 2007 – Consultant in a patent infringement case representing defendant in Intertainer v Apple. Case involved downloading movies. Identified and reviewed prior art. Kirkland-Ellis – 2007-2008 – Consultant in a patent infringement case representing defendant in Visto v RIM. Case involved cell phone applications like email, web, synchronization, and networking. Latham and Watkins – 2007-2008 – Noninfringement expert witness in a patent infringement case representing defendant in Sky v Oracle. Case involved negotiation software. Settled. Sterne-Kessler – 2008-2009 – Invalidity and noninfringement expert witness in a patent infringement case representing defendant in Juxtacom v Sybase. Case involved ETL workflow. Drafted Noninfringement Expert Report. Settled. Reed-Smith – 2008-2010 – Validity and infringement expert witness in a patent infringement case representing plaintiff in Sybase v Vertica. Case related to databases for decision support and vertical databases. Drafted infringement expert report. Case appealed due to Markman ruling then ended. Tech Dev Holdings, LLC – 2009 – Validity expert witness in a patent infringement case representing plaintiff in SFA v Infor. Case involved sales force automation using a service oriented architecture and business rules. Drafted validity expert report. Deposition. Favorable settlement. McKool-Smith – 2010 – Validity and infringement expert witness in a patent infringement case representing plaintiff in i2 v Oracle. Case involved supply chain enterprise software suites. Active pre-Markman, then case downsized before expert reports. Settled. Reed-Smith – 2010-2011 – Noninfringement and invalidity expert witness in a patent infringement case representing defendant in Data Retrieval Technologies v Sybase. Case involved drivers that connect data sources to databases. Drafted declaration related to summary judgment of invalidity. DLA Piper – 2011- 2012 – Noninfringement and invalidity expert witness in a patent infringement case representing defendant in Veveo v Verizon. Case involved auto completion in dynamic search. Settled early. Reed-Smith –2011- 2012 – Invalidity and non-infringement expert witness in a patent infringement case representing defendant in JuxtaComm v TIBCO. Drafted two expert reports. Deposition. Court invalidated JuxtaComm patent via a motion for summary judgment. Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan – 2011-2014 – Validity and infringement expert witness in a patent infringement case representing plaintiff in Motorola v Apple. Case involved synchronizing push content across mobile devices and authorizing use of software on mobile devices. Drafted four expert reports related to two patents. Settled.

Phase VII – 2014-present – retirement Summary: Retirement can be divided into the go-go years, the go-slow years, and the no-go years. My parents passed away at ages 89 and 90. They began to slow down around age 80. At age 65 in 2014, I decided it was a good time to retire. I had sufficient savings and, as with other phases of my career, I had mastered my university and expert witness careers and felt ready for new challenges in my remaining active years. It turns out that, so far, I am good at retirement and am just as busy as I was before I retired. Was it hard to make this transition? I found it helpful to read Percy Bysshe Shelley’s poem Ozymandias: “look on my works, Ye Mighty, and despair” because “nothing beside remains” except my few footnotes in the history of computing. Believing this, it is time to go from being a player in the computing field to an always-interested observer. The journey was interesting but now it is the turn of the next generation to make a difference.

TEACHING Courses Taught Summary: I taught quite a bit in the first ten years of my career, then did industry research for 23 years, then taught again for the last eleven years. While I did teach a lot of intro courses toward the beginning, I also taught AI and database, which I also taught in the final eleven years. Having lived through both the AI and database fields, I noticed that textbooks had of archaeological layered aspect whereby early results were summarized concisely and layered with later results but I also notices that early results were still weighted heavily so that students now learned many of the same things that students did in 1977-1981. Texts often failed to introduce many of the new ideas. So I spent 20-30% of the time in each course going beyond textbooks to cover newer material. I also tried to give my students an idea of the open research issues in each course.

The University of Texas, Austin, Fall 1971 – Spring 1974  Data Structures, Instructor  Assembly Programming, GRA and Instructor – 60-70 students  Introduction to Programming Lab, GRA

University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Fall 2003 – Spring 2014 Summary: At University of Arkansas, I taught upper division and graduate students. My classes were larger than average and evaluations were 4+ out of 5. My course load was two courses but some semesters I chose to teach a third special topics course to attract students to my research. I introduced core concepts but also research directions in each course. Most of my courses were project-oriented with each student or student team working on a different project. My students executed their project and completed an interim and final report and an oral presentation.  Artificial Intelligence – CSCE 4613 undergraduate and/or 5043 graduate – 30-60 students – 2003-Fall, 2006- Fall, 2008-Spring, 2009-Spring, 2009-Fall, 2011-Fall, 2013-Fall  Database Management – CSCE 4523 undergraduate and/or CSCE 5123 graduate – 30-40 students – 2005- Spring, 2005-Fall, 2006-Spring, 2007-Spring, 2007-Fall, 2012-Fall  Software Architecture – CSCE 4543 undergraduate and/or CSCE 5013 graduate – introduced new course – 2009-Spring, 2011-Spring, 2014-Spring  3D Virtual Worlds – CSCE 4013 undergraduate and CSCE 5053 graduate – introduced new course – 2010-Fall, 2013-Spring  Special Topic: Modeling Healthcare Logistics in a Virtual World – CSCE 5013 undergraduate and graduate – 2010-Spring  Special Topic: RFID Agent Middleware – CSCE 490 undergraduate, SCE 590 graduate – 2006-Fall, 2007- Spring, 2007-Fall  Special Topic: Natural Language Interfaces – CSCE 490 undergraduate, SCE 590 graduate – 2006-01

My Student’s Supervised Research Summary: My first love was research. My second was involving students and colleagues as collaborators. It was a challenge to switch gears from industry where my colleagues were PhD or MS with experience who worked 40-50 hours a week on our research projects to the university environment where equally enthusiastic and very smart but less experience students worked on research projects for perhaps 5-10 hours a week. But, working on research projects with bright students, was by far my favorite part of the university experience. I remember my colleagues and student fondly and keep in touch with many of them.

TI Idea Program – similar to MS Doug Matzke. “Incremental Algorithms,” TI Idea Program Project ($20K). Advisor: Craig Thompson. Based in part on work by DiPesa and Eisen (above), this project led to the SC/SPDC Three Month Design System (DROID) approach to fine-grained change management (Keeps) and, indirectly, to its Meta Simulator, a novel, very efficient incremental RTL simulator based on lazy evaluation. Ideas provided a basis for some incremental algorithms based on memoization.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

It was Lord Stanley, my Mother's Father's ancestor, who took the crown off of Richard III as he was dying and crowned their half-brother Henry VII (1485). My great uncle-in-law’s great grandfather Don Juan Bandini settled in San Diego and later led a rebellion that conquered Los Angeles in 1837. He owned Casa De Bandini, which later became a restaurant in Old Town.

My great grandfather Karl Stanley, born in 1823 in Germany, came to American and spent time in several gold rushes, then retired to a farm in Kansas, married a sixteen year old German girl, had six daughters, and then died. As a farm girl growing up in Kansas, my grandmother Kathryn Stanley (b. 1883) watched covered wagons roll through their community of Burlingame. In 1900, already trained as a typewriter (that is, a secretary), she traveled by herself to the West Coast where she eventually became the highest paid office worker in Los Angeles. My grandfather Charles Thompson grew up in Chicago. As a young teen, he got a job at the local medical school putting Vaseline on cadavers so they would keep longer in the warm months. In his early twenties, he and my grandmother moved west for his health. He was one if the first employees at Pacific Bell and was in charge of teletypes, high tech in the 1920s-1940s. My mother was a WAVE in San Diego during WW II, encrypting and decrypting messages for the US Navy. An amazing coincidence, my next door neighbor’s mother was also a WAVE in the same small training group. My father saw the U.S. flag raised on Iwo Jima; was the last man off the aircraft carrier Bismarck Sea when it was hit by kamikazes and sunk in 1945; was in the first class of oceanography PhDs to graduate from Texas A&M in 1950; was a Professor at the US Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey; met Jacques Cousteau, Princess Grace, and the King of Siam; spent summers in Libya and on the Stanford research vessel Te Vega; was an expert witness for the State of California related to shore boundary disputes; and climbed in and out of the Grand Canyon when he was 79. I was born in 1949, a few years before higher level programming languages and almost ten years before the invention of integrated circuits. I grew up in Monterey, lived in London for a year when I was 11, and bicycled in England (mostly alone) and traveled in Italy (with my younger brother) for summers when I was 16, 18, and 20. I have collections of marbles, stamps, coins, Classics Illustrated comic books, moths, and brass rubbings to document my youth. I took my first programming course as a sophomore at Stanford – back then there was no computer science major and all computing courses were graduate courses. I saw AI and especially natural language processing as grand challenges so I went in that direction. Teaching at U Arkansas, I sometimes told my cell phone toting students that for graduation my parents gave me a mainframe, but it was very heavy to carry around and hard to fit onto my lap and nothing happened when I tried lifting it to my ear and talking (the computing equivalent to “In my day, we had to walk both ways to school up hill and through the snow.”). Jan and I met by the pool in Austin in February 1974 – how time flies when you are having fun! Our daughter Jennifer, b. 1977, and her husband Mike graduated from Texas A&M in Computer Science and Industrial Engineering in 1999. They own a home in Fort Worth. Mike worked for Motorola Mobility, then Google, and now Alcon. Jennifer is a certified project manager. She worked at Motorola and now at Nokia. Luke, born in 2006 and Jacob born in 2010, are constant reasons to spend time in Fort Worth. Our daughter Kathryn, b. 1982, graduated with a biophysics and mathematics double major from Centenary (oldest university west of the Mississippi), spent a summer at St. Johns College, Oxford, another summer interning at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas and also hiking 190 miles on the Coast-to-Coast Wainwright Trail across northern England. She co-authored an on-line book before leaving Centenary, received an NSF Graduate Fellowship, and completed her Ph.D. in cell biology in 2010 at Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla. She married industrial engineer Brent Applegate in 2006. She co-authored a paper for Science in mid-2007 and presented a paper at a CS Lewis Conference in Oxford in 2008. After several years at HP, Brent completed the UCSD MBA program focused on entrepreneurial biotech studies, graduating in June 2009. He worked at Illumina and now at Ingenuity (now acquired by Qiagen). Kathryn works at Biologos as a program manager for research grants and just co-edited “How I Changed My Mind About Evolution.” Lucy Elaine was born in 2012 and Josiah in 2013 – they are two great reasons to go to Grand Rapids, MI. I retired from the University of Arkansas in August 2014 as an emeritus professor. Initially, I worked on the College of Engineering’s strategic plan and have recently been focused on travel and family history. I haven’t yet started bicycling across the country as there is a large hill in our neighborhood that is in the way. During my career, it has been interesting to meet people who changed the world or at least the computing field: US Navy Lieutenant Don Walsh who with Swiss engineer Jacques Piccard set the record in 1960 for the deepest

Other memorable computer scientists I have met or worked with and admired include: Don Knuth, Randy Katz, Gio Wiederhold, Jeff Ullman, Lotfi Zedah, Peter Denning, and Harry Tennant.
