Richard E. Morley is best known as the father of the programmable controller and is the leading visionary in the field of advanced technological development. He is also an entrepreneur whose consistent successes in the founding of high technology companies has been demonstrated through more than three decades of revolutionary achievements. Mr. Morley is the recipient of the Franklin Institute's prestigious Howard N. Potts Award and is an inductee of the Automation Hall of Fame. He holds more than twenty US and foreign patents, including those for the parallel inference machine, the hand-held terminal, the programmable logic controller and magnetic thin film.

Using his studies in physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a springboard, Dick Morley has become an internationally recognized pioneer in the fields of computer design, artificial intelligence, automation and technology trend forecasting. As an inventor, author, consultant and engineer Dick Morley has provided the Research and Development community with world changing innovations.

Doug Neff of Campbell Scientific. The most used commercial Data Loggers and associated devices - sensors, power supplies for field research. Recent innovations in both small wireless systems, satellite data radios, and integration of them. Has, as I recall, done work for agencies monitoring nuclear waste piles.

Dr. Noji completed his university studies in biology at Stanford University, and received his medical degree at the University of Rochester in the state of New York. He subsequently completed his residency training in Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine at the University of Chicago and his public health degree at the Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health. Prior to coming to the CDC, Dr. Noji was a faculty member of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and an attending emergency physician at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. Dr. Noji is currently President of the Society of Alumni of the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health as well as an adjunct full professor of International Health at the Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine in New Orleans.

His major area of academic interest concerns the medical and health response to natural, biological and technological disasters including complex humanitarian emergencies and terrorism. Dr. Noji is the author or co-author of over 140 scientific articles and publications on toxicological emergencies, disaster medicine and disaster epidemiology including the recently published Public Health Consequences of Disasters (Oxford Press).

Michael Nova - Chief Technology Officer, Graviton – Michael Nova was previously Founder and President of two additional high-tech companies, IRORI, Inc. (NASDAQ: DPII) that is developing wireless technology; and Prizm, Inc.

Janet Thot-Thompson, Director ACCESS Center. *

Janet Thot-Thompson is the National Center for Supercomputing Applications Associate Director for the Alliance Center for Collaboration, Education, Science and Software (ACCESS). She helped conceptualize, design, deploy, and now manages this advanced technology and learning center in Arlington, Virginia for the National Computational Science Alliance (the Alliance). The Center opened April 1999.

Additionally, she is the Acting Executive Director for the Multi-Sector Crisis Management Consortium (http:// www.mscmc.org). The MSCMC is a 501-3C non-profit tax-deductible organization.

ACCESS is a high-end computing, communications and information technology center for technology demonstration, presentation, training, digital video collaboration and distance learning Center for the Alliance. The center helps showcase advanced and emerging software, hardware, and communications technologies from across the Alliance. The National Computational Science Alliance (Alliance) is a partnership among more than 50 academic, government, and industrial organizations from across the United States to prototype an advanced computational infrastructure for the 21 st century. This model infrastructure, called the Grid, will link together advanced supercomputers, visualization environments, and mass storage devices into a powerful, flexible problem-solving environment.

Janet has more than 29 year’s experience managing customer service organizations in both the private and public sectors and as a director for two technology centers. She was an active participant with the U.S. National Performance Review to reinvent government through advanced technologies, specifically the Reinvention Laboratory, RegNet, and has given numerous presentations before professional associations. Software Publishing Corporation recognized her work in March 1999 in the Washington Post and in Government Computer News in March 1991 for innovative, systematic application of software. She was also recognized in Federal Computer Week in numerous articles as the founding member and Chair of the World Wide Web Federal Consortium during 1995-1996. Ms. Thot-Thompson received the second highest honor granted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to an individual, the Meritorious Service Award, received for Management Excellence. She was a panel member at the National Press Club March 23, 2000 "cyber cocktail" on the future of the Internet. She coauthored (with Mary Bea Walker, NCSA Senior Research Scientist and Karen S. Green, NCSA Assistant Director of Communications) a white paper on Innovative Collaborative Learning and Research Environments in Academia and Government: Developing the NCSA ACCESS Center. Most recently she consulted with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in Manila, Philippines, and presented on advanced technologies and use of potential applications to reduce poverty. As a result, ADB is budgeting to join the Multi-Sector Crisis Management Consortium and also for an ACCESS-like advanced technology center.

As Acting Executive Director for the Multi-Sector Crisis Management Consortium, she is dedicated to harnessing the power of supercomputing, communications, and advanced applications and visualization development to enhance international crisis management prevention, mitigation, response and consequence management activities.
