Boarded Up

Haven’t had much chance to post this week. I’ve been holed up in Canberra with NICTA’s International Advisory Groups for the past few days:

The Business Advisory Group comprises:

•  Duane Zitzner, HP, Executive VP, Retired
• Narayana Murthy, Infosys, Chairman and Chief Mentor Officer
• Craig Mudge, Director, Macquarie Institute for Innovation
• Bob Bishop, Silicon Graphics, Vice Chairman
• Heather Killen, Hemisphere Capital, Managing Partner

The Science Advisory Group consists of:

• Jean Vuillemin, INRIA, Action CEO
• Dieter Rombach, Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering, Executive Director
• Richard Newton, UC Berkeley, Dean of Engineering
• Rodney Brooks, MIT, Director, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab
• Stuart Feldman, IBM, VP, Computer Science Research, IBM TJ Watson Research Center

A really great bunch of people, who bring an exceptional global point of view to NICTA’s research and commercialization activities.
