- Don Brutzman is an assistant professor at the
Naval Postgraduate School
where his office often vies for the title of "least tidy." He can be reached at
brutzman@nps.navy.mil
and his home page is at
www.stl.nps.navy.mil/~brutzman
- Justin Couch can be reached at
jtc@sg.adisys.com.au
and his home page is at
www.vlc.com.au/~justin/.
He has perhaps written more Java code in combination with VRML than
anyone on the planet. This is particularly difficult since his code is produced
in Australia and is therefore upside down. Justin is coauthor
(with Bernie Roehl, Cindy Reed-Ballreich, Tim Rohaly and Geoff Brown) of
Late Night VRML 2.0 with Java. Information about the book is available at
ece.uwaterloo.ca/~broehl/vrml/lnvj/

Christophe Diot
(Christophe.Diot@sophia.inria.fr)
(ACM '94) received the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from INP
Grenoble, France, in 1991.
He is a research scientist in the RODEO project at INRIA Sophia Antipolis,
France, working on new architectures for communication subsystems. His research
activity currently focuses on various aspects of group communication (group
management, naming and addressing, congestion control) related to the design of
large-scale multiuser applications on the Internet. More detailed information
can be found at
www.inria.fr/rodeo
- Ronan Fauglas received his bachelor's degree in 1997 from
l'Ecole Nationale Superieure des Telecommunications in Paris France.
His thesis work was "Protocoles en support
aux applications multimédia réparties, et Mondes virtuels repartis"
("Protocols in support of distributed multimedia apllications and
distributed virtual worlds").
Ronan's research interests include open systems, research protocols
(particularly IP multicast transport) and virtual reality.
While studying at the U.S. Naval Postgraduate
School for three months, he formalized and greatly extended the DIS-Java-VRML (DJV)
documentation using Javadoc. He is also investigating available packages
and methodogies for DJV software version control. He can be reached at
fauglas@stl.nps.navy.mil
- Mark Jean runs a networked simulation sweatshop in San Jose and serves
as DIS-Java-VRML working group cochair. He can be reached at
mjean@alturus.com
- Mike McCarthy was an NPS thesis student building a
DIS-Java-VRML testbed running on Linux machines. The goal of this thesis is
to begin running a global MBone exercise that sends out multicast PDUs for a fun
round-the-clock simulation which people can join via web browsers. We expect this
work to support efforts of the
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
Large-Scale Multicast Applications (LSMA)
working group. Mike left to join some upstart startup named Netscape.
We still hope he comes back some weekend to finish the job...
- Don McGregor
mcgredo@stl.nps.navy.mil
is some guy who wandered in off the street. Nobody really knew
what to do with him, so he was made working group co-chair. His home page is at
www.stl.nps.navy.mil/~mcgredo.
He also maintains the web pages you're looking at and has been known to inflict
DEVO on those near his office. He's thinking about getting a subwoofer to
increase the range of his office stereo. Those near him are thinking
of violence.
- Chet Murphy is the owner of Modelworks Software where he is developing Java
and VRML tools. In his former life he worked as an advisor to the U.S.
government in areas related large scale simulation. Chet can be reached at
cmurphy@modelworks.com.
His home page is www.modelworks.com
- Michael Myjak
mmyjak@mail.imtinc.com
is building his own startup company following a successful tour as
Senior Research Scientist at the Institute for
Simulation and Training, located at the University of Central Florida. His
research interests include the development of a reliable multicast
transport, logical network time management, and simulation network
management. Mr. Myjak chairs the Run-Time Infrastructure and
Communications Forum and currently Co-Chairs the Internet Engineering
Task Force's (IETF) Large Scale Multicast Application (LSMA) working
group. Mr. Myjak is active in the development of the Simulation
Interoperability Standards Organization and is actively participating in
the Reference FOM Study Group.
- Dr. Mark Pullen, Associate Professor of Computer Science and at George Mason
University, holds BSEE and MSEE degrees from West Virginia University, and the
Doctor of Science in Computer Science from the George Washington University.
He is a licensed Professional Engineer and a Fellow of the IEEE. Dr. Pullen
teaches courses in computer networking, and has active research in networking
for distributed virtual simulation and networked multimedia tools for
distance education. Dr. Pullen recently received the IEEE's Harry Diamond
Memorial Award for his work in networking for distributed simulation.
His e-mail address is
mpullen@bacon.gmu.edu.
and home page is
bacon.gmu.edu/c3i/resumes/pullen.html.
- Chris Thorne is yet another WG technical co-chair; his email address is
chris@ccis.adisys.com.au.
Chris runs a small Java-VRML (+DIS) prototyping project at ADI's
(Australian Defence Industries) CCIS (Command and Control Information
Systems) group in Perth, Western Australia. He also runs around doing a
whole lot of other stuff that commercial organisations ask senior bods
to do but which have nothing to do with interesting stuff like VRML.
His non-VRML interests include family, music (learning keyboard),
computer graphics - particularly texture mapping, game playing
(role-play, board games, play-by-mail, sport, ... any games!) and
chocolate.
