Biographical sketches of authors

Kevin F. Eustice 13768 Trost Trail, Savage, Minnesota 55378 (electronic mail: kfe@cs.hmc.edu). Mr. Eustice is pursuing a Ph.D. degree at the University of California, Los Angeles. He graduated in May 1999 with a B.S. degree in computer science from Harvey Mudd College. He has been involved with the TSpaces project at IBM Almaden since May 1998. His research interests include mobile computing, distributed systems, and computer-human interaction, as well as caching and replication in mobile databases. His goal is to make the world fully connected and fully interoperable using mobile and distributed systems.

Tobin (Toby) J. Lehman IBM Research Division, Almaden Research Center, 650 Harry Road, San Jose, California 95120-6099 (electronic mail: toby@almaden.ibm.com). Dr. Lehman joined the IBM Almaden Research Center in 1986, shortly after finishing his Ph.D. degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is currently a member of the Computer Sciences Division. His research interests include server-based backup systems, object-relation database systems, large-object management, memory-resident database systems, Tuplespace systems, and just about anything written in Java. Dr. Lehman is the leader of the TSpaces project, and he plans to use TSpaces to make the world a more productive place.

Armando Morales G. IBM Mexico, Guadalajara Software Group, Carretera el Castillo Km 2.2, El Salto, Jalisco, Mexico 45550 (electronic mail: armando@mx1.ibm.com). Mr. Morales graduated as an electrical engineer in 1984. He joined IBM in 1985 as a product engineer for the System/36TM and later for the AS/400®. In 1990 he finished an M.B.A. program, and in 1992 he joined the Guadalajara Programming Laboratory, where he has been a team leader for multiple software projects for the AS/400 and lately for Netfinity® servers. He is interested in new applications for small devices such as the IBM WorkPad.

Michelle C. Munson IBM Research Division, Almaden Research Center, 650 Harry Road, San Jose, California 95120-6099 (electronic mail: munsonm@almaden.ibm.com). Ms. Munson joined IBM and the TSpaces project in 1998, after finishing a master's degree in computer science at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. Currently a member of the Computer Sciences Division, her interests include all aspects of mobile computing and distributed object systems. She is interested in technologies that interact with the physical and electronic domains for context-aware and augmented reality computing. She graduated with B.Sc. degrees in electrical engineering and physics from Kansas State University in 1996. She enjoys running, meditation, and, most recently, gambling.

Stefan Edlund IBM Research Division, Almaden Research Center, 650 Harry Road, San Jose, California 95120-6099 (electronic mail: edlund@almaden. ibm.com). Mr. Edlund graduated with a master's degree in computer science from the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, in 1997. Since then, he has worked at the IBM Almaden Research Center developing applications for the DB2® database system, and he has more recently done work on various Web applications, among them the active calendar. Currently a member of the Computer Sciences Division, his primary interests include the Web, Java, PDAs, data mining, and playing music.

Miguel Guillen G. IBM Mexico, Guadalajara Software Group, Carretera el Castillo Km 2.2, El Salto, Jalisco, Mexico 45550 (electronic mail: mkt@mx1.ibm.com). Mr. Guillen joined IBM in 1990, after finishing his electrical engineering studies at the University of Guadalajara. In 1992, he joined the Guadalajara Programming Laboratory, where he has been developing software for different projects including the AS/400, Netfinity, and the Advanced System Management Adapter. His main interests are little devices, such as PDAs and microcontrollers, object-oriented design patterns, teaching C++, using high-end audio, and cooking.
