Innovation, Open Source, and the Development of
Proprietary Products Deuce DuBois ABSTRACT: There is an ever growing source of
open source intellectual property. This presentation looks at using
open sources software, hardware, etc. in product development, and
briefly covers additional topics such as license issues and
protecting intellectual property rights. Also presented are various
sources of open source code, tools, etc. BIOGRAPHY: Deuce DuBois graduated from the
University of Idaho with degrees in Mathematics & Computer
Science with post graduate studies in digital design, software
engineering, and management of technology. Deuce joined HP in 1988
and has worked in various engineering roles within the LaserJet
product lines. He currently holds the position of Serviceability
Architect for the embedded systems lab in Boise. Additional
responsibilities include the management of open source code and tools
for HP product development. Deuce, outside of HP, contributed his
engineering expertise to oceanographic service companies to produce
real-time sonar and digital imagery analysis tools. His contributions
led him to become a member of 1998 Titanic research expedition. Prior
to HP, Deuce worked at Borland International on the original Turbo C
compiler and other projects. |

Computer Science Research at Boise State
University Tim Andersen and Amit Jain, Computer Science
Department, College of Engineering, Boise State University ABSTRACT: We will present an overview of various
research projects in the Computer Science department at Boise State
University. Areas include Document Recognition with Neural Networks,
Parallel Computing with Clusters, Network Security and Embedded
Systems. We will highlight selected projects being done by graduate
students, several of whom work in local industry. BIOGRAPHY: Dr. Tim Andersen received his B.S. in
Computer Science from Brigham Young University in 1992. He then
received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from BYU in
1995 and 1999. In September of 2001 Dr. Andersen joined
the faculty in the Computer Science Department at Boise State
University. Dr. Andersen's areas of expertise include Neural
Networks, Document Analysis and Recognition, Machine Learning,
Genetic Algorithms, Pattern Recognition, and Artificial
Intelligence. Dr. Andersen is actively pursuing research topics
in the areas of: 1) Biologically inspired methods of
computation. 2) Document analysis and recognition.
3) ANN training algorithms, and 4) DNA sequence analysis. |
