Debra J. Richardson, professor of Informatics and dean of the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences, is committed to raising ICS' rankings and building an infrastructure to support a dynamic academic and research school that meets the demands of the local community and industry and contributes to the global economy. She has dedicated enormous time to ensuring that UCI's computer science program is top tier, encompassing a broad and interdisciplinary curriculum, while attracting the best and brightest students and faculty. To that end, Richardson was instrumental in securing a $20 million endowment for the school.

Richardson came to UCI in 1987 and was appointed chair of the then-department of ICS in July 2000. Under her leadership, the department was promoted to the first computer science school in University of California history in December 2002. She was named the Ted and Janice Smith Dean of the new school in January 2003.

Committed to increasing the participation of women and other underrepresented groups in computing and information technology, Richardson serves as director of the Ada Byron Research Center for Diversity in Computing and Information Technology whose mission is to study and promote diverse perspectives in computer science, engineering, digital media and related information technology fields through a variety of research, mentoring and outreach activities.

She has developed leading edge tools, and has worked with several companies in adopting technology to improve the quality of critical software systems. Richardson received her B.A. in Mathematics from the University of California at San Diego in 1976 and the M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer and Information Science at the University of Massachusetts in 1978 and 1981, respectively.


Dr. Peter Freeman,
Assistant Director for the Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate, NSF

 

 彼得 . 弗里曼 博士

 

美国国家科学基金会副会长,主管计算机信息科学及工程

弗里曼教授于20025月被委任为美国国家科学基金会(NSF)副会长,主管计算机信息科学及工程。此前自1990年始,他在佐治亚理工学院任教授和该校计算学院创院首任院长。在佐治亚理工学院,他担任John P.Imlay, Jr.首席讲座院长,是该校被授予如此殊荣的第一人。他还连续三年兼任该校信息总监(CIO)。作为一名校领导,他活跃于组织各种校级活动。他曾帮助学校在一次筹款活动中成功筹资7亿美元,还是 "Yamacraw 经济发展行动"的策划人之一。他全面负责该校1996年奥运村技术筹备组的"未来网络"项目;作为该项目的成果之一,佐治亚理工建成了覆盖全校的高性能校园宽带网。1998年,他主持了"萨姆 . 纳国民银行时政论坛之信息安全分会"。会后,佐治亚理工信息安全中心应运而生,成为美国最早建立的综合性信息安全中心之一。自1989年到1990年,弗里曼教授被乔治梅森大学特聘为杰出客座教授。1987年到1989年,他在NSF计算机与计算科学分部担任主任。在加入佐治亚理工之前,他在加州大学欧文分校信息与计算机科学系任教达20年之久。

弗里曼教授是《美国信息技术领域人力资源供求》一书的作者之一,是《深入理解软件:系统即信息》和《软件系统基本原理》的作者,还发表了大量学术论文。他同时还是4本著作的编辑或者副编辑,包括《软件重用性》和《软件设计技术(第四版)》。 他是《McGraw-Hill 软件工程与技术系列期刊》的创刊编辑,为多个学术期刊担任编委会成员,兼任众多会议的程序委员会委员,并经常为工业、学术和政府部门提供顾问。在1988年到2002年间,弗里曼教授在计算研究协会 (CRA)董事会担任政府事务委员会副主席和主席。他是美国国税局和联邦航空局航空交通控制现代化项目的审查专责委员会委员,并在多个全国性和地方性的委员会任职。在NSF供职期间,他主导规划了联邦政府高性能计算与通信计划。弗里曼教授是IEEE、美国科学促进会(AAAS)和ACM的会士。1970年,他获得卡内基梅隆大学计算机科学博士学位;1965年获克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校数学和心理学硕士学位;1963年获莱斯大学物理学学士学位。软件系统和开发是他主要的研究方向和技术专长。早在操作系统和其它支持软件投入使用之前,他就在1961年到1963年期间启动了高级科学应用软件的开发。沿着他的早期研究方向,他在1964年设计和建成了算得上最早的互动分时操作系统,并在1965年到1975年间率先将人工智能技术应用到软件设计过程。

在被联合国派驻海外进行了一段教学工作之后,弗里曼教授开始潜心研究软件工程。由于他的先导性贡献,他被遴选为IEEE会士。他同瓦色尔曼教授合作编写了最早的软件设计课程,培训了成千上万的工业界从业者。两位教授共同撰写的软件工程入门教材也受到广泛欢迎。弗里曼教授这一时期的研究以软件重用,特别是形式变换系统的使用为核心。 因这一研究成果的应用,好几家公司由而成立。1987年,弗里曼教授从加州大学被借调到NSF。他由此开始研究国家政策和地方行动对计算科学的影响。在担任佐治亚理工计算学院院长期间,他还主持了一个NSF支持的全国信息技术人力资源短缺情况研究, 发起了一个信息技术和计算机科学院院长协联组织,还发表了数篇探讨计算领域未来发展方向的论文。

 

 

 

Peter A. Freeman became Assistant Director for the Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate (CISE) on May 6, 2002. He was previously at Georgia Institute of Technology as professor and founding Dean of the College of Computing since 1990. He served in that capacity as the John P. Imlay, Jr. Dean of Computing, holding the first endowed Dean's Chair at Georgia Tech. He also served as CIO for the campus for three years. In addition, as a general officer of the campus, he was heavily involved in planning and implementing a wide range of activities for the campus including a successful $700M capital campaign and the Yamacraw Economic Development Mission. He was in charge of the FutureNet Project, part of the campus technology preparations for the 1996 Olympic Village, that resulted in a very high-performance and broad campus network. In 1998, he chaired the Sam Nunn NationsBank Policy Forum on Information Security which lead to the creation of the Georgia Tech Information Security Center, one of the first comprehensive centers in the country focused on information security.During 1989-90 Dr. Freeman was Visiting Distinguished Professor of Information Technology at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, and from 1987 to 1989 he served as Division Director for Computer and Computation Research at the National Science Foundation. He served on the faculty of the Department of Information and Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine, for almost twenty years before coming to Georgia Tech.

 

He co-authored The Supply of Information Technology Workers in the United States (CRA, 1999) and authored Software Perspectives: The System is the Message (Addison Wesley, 1987), Software Systems Principles (SRA, 1975), and numerous technical papers. In addition, he edited or co-edited four books including, Software Reusability (IEEE Computer Society, 1987), and Software Design Techniques, 4th edition (IEEE Press, 1983). He was the founding editor of the McGraw-Hill Series in Software Engineering and Technology, has served on several editorial boards and numerous program committees, and was an active consultant to industry, academia, and government. Dr. Freeman was a member of the Board of Directors of the Computing Research Association (1988-2002), serving as Vice-Chair and Chair of the Government Affairs Committee. He was a member of select review committees of the IRS and FAA Air-traffic Control modernization efforts, and has served on a variety of national and regional committees. While at NSF, he helped formulate the High-Performance Computing and Communications Initiative of the Federal government.

 

Dr. Freeman is a Fellow of the IEEE (Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers), AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science), and the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery). He received his Ph.D. in computer science from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1970, his M.A. in mathematics and psychology from the University of Texas at Austin in 1965, and his B.S. in physics from Rice University in 1963. His research and technical expertise has focused on software systems and their creation. His earliest work (1961-63) involved developing advanced scientific applications in the days before there were operating systems and other support software. This led him to design and build one of the earliest interactive time-sharing operating systems (1964) and ultimately to early work applying artificial intelligence to the design process for software (1965-75). This culminated with the publication of his first book, Software System Principles (SRA, 1975).

 

After a short stint teaching overseas for the United Nations, he focused his work on software engineering, ultimately being recognized for this early work by being elected a Fellow of the IEEE. Along with Prof. A. I. Wasserman, he developed one of the first software design courses (taken by thousands of industry practitioners) and published a highly popular text that served as a first introduction to software engineering. His research during this period focused on reusable software, especially using formal transformation systems. That work has resulted in several startup companies. Since 1987 when he was "loaned" by the University of California to the National Science Foundation, he has focused his attention on national policy and local action intended to advance the field of computing. In addition to his many activities as dean at Georgia Tech, he headed an NSF-funded national study of the IT worker shortage (http://www.cra.org/reports/wits/cra.wits.html), started an active group for Deans of IT& Computing, and published several papers relative to future directions of the field.
