Industry Experience Co-founder of WebWisdom.com and Anabas corporations. Patents TangoInteractive Collaboration System, March 2000 with several members of WebWisdom.com Summary of Interests Fox has worked in a variety of applied computer science fields with his work on computational physics evolving into contributions to parallel computing initially involving the hypercube architecture. He has worked on the computing issues in several application areas – currently focusing on Earthquake Science. Over the last three years, his major activity has been the use of Object Web technologies to build collaboration systems and their application in an integrated approach to synchronous and asynchronous distance education. He has led activities to develop prototype high performance Java and Fortran compilers and their runtime support. His research group has pioneered use of CORBA and Java for both collaboration and distributed computing. He helped set up the Java Grande forum to encourage use of Java in large-scale computations. Fox is a proponent for the development of computational science and its follow on "Internetics" as an academic discipline and a scientific method. Longer Summary of Interests Fox received his undergraduate degree in mathematics at Cambridge University where he was awarded the honor of Senior Wrangler as the head of his class. Postdoctoral positions and a faculty position at Caltech followed his Ph.D. in theoretical physics at Cambridge. His work always stressed practical applications of mathematics and computation to physical problems. He was one of four faculty who set up the program in CNS (Computation and Neural Systems) linking Biology, Computer Science, and Physics. Here he focused on the analysis and parallel simulation of artificial and biological neural networks. In 1980 Fox increasingly concentrated on computer science starting with his work on parallel computers with the hypercube architecture. He built multidisciplinary teams to exploit these new machines and was a pioneer in showing how to design efficient parallel algorithms and software in several scientific and engineering disciplines. Over the last four years, his major activity has been the use of Object Web technologies to build collaboration systems and their application in an integrated approach to synchronous and asynchronous distance education. He has led activities to develop prototype high performance Java and Fortran compilers and their runtime support. His research group has pioneered use of CORBA and Java for both collaboration and distributed computing. He helped set up an industry-academic partnership, the Java Grande forum, to encourage use of Java in large-scale computations. He was cofounder of two companies WebWisdom.com and Anabas in the area of Internet technology. Fox is a proponent for the development of computational science and its follow on "Internetics" as an academic discipline and a scientific method. Fox is a member of the ACES international collaboration to develop the computational environment for earthquake simulation techniques including both classic simulations and sophisticated pattern analysis methods. At Indiana University, Fox will focus on Grid technology to build electronic communities linking resources and people. This will involve universities, industry and government. Examples include the support of distance education and distributed scientific research.
