Biographical sketches of authors
James A. Landay
Group for User Interface Research, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department, University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, California 94720-1776 (electronic mail: landay@cs.berkeley.edu).
Dr. Landay is Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley. He received his B.S. degree in electrical engineering and computer science at Berkeley in 1990 and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Carnegie Mellon University in 1993 and 1996, respectively. His Ph.D. dissertation was the first to demonstrate the use of sketching in user interface design tools. He has published extensively in the area of user interfaces, including articles on user interface design tools, gesture recognition, pen-based user interfaces, mobile computing, and visual languages. Dr. Landay has also contributed to a number of important user interface systems, including the Garnet and RUSE user interface management systems at Carnegie Mellon and the ROCKIT constraint specification tool at the Paris Research Laboratory of the former Digital Equipment Corporation. He also explored the problems in scaling user interfaces to large display surfaces at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Laboratory (PARC). In addition, he developed the user interface for Software Publishing Corporation's database product, PFS: Professional File 2.0. He has also worked at several well-known Silicon Valley startups, including GO Corporation and Ardent Computer.
Richard C. Davis
Virtual Ink Corporation, 56 Roland Street, Suite 306, Boston, Massachusetts 02129 (electronic mail: rcdavis@virtual-ink.com).
Mr. Davis is a software architect at Virtual Ink Corporation. He received his B.S. and master's degrees in electrical engineering and computer science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1995. In 1996, after a year at Intel Corporation working on VLSI design processes, he entered the University of California at Berkeley where he did research in sketching and digital ink-based note-taking systems that support collaborative work. He has also worked on digital ink-based note-taking systems at Fuji-Xerox Palo Alto Laboratory (FXPAL) and ink with audio note-taking systems at AT&T Labs Research. At Virtual Ink, Mr. Davis has participated in the design of mimio, a device that captures and records notes taken on any conventional whiteboard. He is currently designing new systems for manipulating and sharing whiteboard notes.
