and has worked in a number of areas that involve network computing. He
has built multiuser collaborative systems, including multiuser virtual
reality systems incorporating visualizations of numerical simulations.
He has also worked on a number of mobile computing projects, including
user interfaces for mobile computing and algorithms for data
replication. His current work is in component-based software, including
security issues that arise with the deployment of mobile, or
downloadable, software.
Anthony J. Nadalin IBM Network
Computing Software Division, 11400 Burnet Road, Austin,

joined the former IBM Federal Systems Division in 1983, where he worked
on secure projects for the government. In 1987 he began working on
secure operating systems design. The work included evaluations of
MVS™ and VM (virtual machine) operating systems, in support of IBM
development laboratories, with the goal of producing commercial
"off-the-shelf" secure operating systems. In 1992 he transferred to
the Application Systems/400 Division to complete an evaluation of
secure operating systems and databases. While on special assignment to
the Personal Software Products (PSP) Division, he worked on the
specification and prototype Object Security Services (OSS). In 1995 Mr.
Nadalin joined the PSP division where he was part of the security
design team for base operating system and distributed computing. He
assisted in the transfer of the OSS prototype to the SOMobjects™
group for use in Component Broker. In 1996 he joined the Internet
Division and continued to work on distributed object security.
Don Neal IBM Network Computing
Software Division, 4205 S. Miami Boulevard,
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27709 (electronic mail:
dhneal@us.ibm.com). Mr. Neal, a Senior Technical Staff Member,
joined IBM in 1973, and has worked on a number of technical assignments
in the areas of the telecommunications environment, networking
architecture and network design, high-speed communications, multivendor
interoperability, and systems management. He joined the I/T Security
Programs area in 1997 with responsibilities for security strategy and
architecture, with a particular focus on Java security.
Tim Lawson Lotus Development

and browser-independent persistence services and the user interface for
the applets. Immediately prior to this, Mr. Lawson worked as architect
for eSuite security technologies in collaboration with IBM and
JavaSoft.
