Wulf Craig Mundie Craig Mundie serves as the chief technical officer of advanced strategies and policy for the Microsoft Corporation. At Microsoft, Mr. Mundie reports to Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates and works with him on developing a comprehensive set of technical, business and policy strategies. This involves coordinating the various aspects of the strategies that span multiple Microsoft product groups. In particular, he focuses on Internet-scale platform architectures, the definition of consumer computing experiences as part of the Microsoft® .NET initiatives, and technical and policy issues surrounding critical infrastructure protection, intellectual property and trustworthy computing. As part of his current role, Mr. Mundie is involved in policy-related activities encompassing security, privacy, encryption and telecom regulation. He works with government and business leaders in Washington, DC, to address these issues. In August 2000, President Clinton named Mr. Mundie to the National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee, which was created in 1982 to advise the White House on issues affecting the security of the nation’s telecommunications infrastructure. In 2000, the White House expanded the group of top industry executives to include key companies involved in computer software and data communications, in recognition of the fact that the Internet has made military and civil infrastructures susceptible to both accidental and intentional disruption. In February 2002, he became a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. The Council is a nonpartisan membership organization, research center, and publisher dedicated to increasing America’s understanding of the world and contributing ideas to U.S. foreign policy. In April 2002, he became a member of the Task Force on National Security in the Information Age. The task force’s main project is to develop a strategy for using new technologies and information to address new security challenges. Prior to this role, Mr. Mundie was senior vice president of Advanced Strategies. Mr. Mundie joined Microsoft in 1992 to create and run the Consumer Platforms Division, which he formed to develop the company’s non-PC platform and service offerings. These included the Windows® CE operating system; the Handheld, Pocket and Auto PCs; and early cellular telephony products. Mr. Mundie also started Microsoft’s digital TV efforts and acquired and managed the WebTV Networks, Inc., subsidiary. Before coming to Microsoft, Mr. Mundie was a co-founder and CEO of Alliant Computer Systems Corp., a company that developed massively parallel supercomputers. Before Alliant, Mundie worked at Data General Corp as a software developer. He wrote the first commercial disk operating system for the Data General NOVA. He also managed the development of database management software, operating systems and compiler software. Before leaving Data General, Mr. Mundie was director of its advanced development facility in Research Triangle Park, N.C. Mr. Mundie received a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and a master’s degree in information theory and computer science at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Howard A. Schmidt Howard A. Schmidt was appointed by President George W. Bush as a Special Assistant to the President and the Vice Chair of the President’s Critical Infrastructure Protection Board in December 2001. The Cyber Security Board focuses on building a specialized group of senior government and private sector leaders to focus on cyber security issues and coordination of security related incidents. The Cyber Security board supports Dr. Condoleezza Rice, National Security Advisor, and Gov. Tom Ridge, Director of Homeland Security. In addition to these responsibilities, he is a distinguished special lecturer at the University of New Haven, Conn., teaching a graduate certificate course in forensic computing. Previously, Mr. Schmidt was the chief security officer for Microsoft Corp., overseeing the Security Strategies Group, which was responsible for ensuring the development of a trusted computing environment via auditing, policy, best practices and incubation of security products and practices. Prior to Microsoft, Mr. Schmidt served with the U.S. Air Force in various roles, both in active duty and in the civil service. His most recent work includes serving as a supervisory special agent and director of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI), Computer Forensic Lab and Computer Crime and Information Warfare Division. Mr. Schmidt is credited with establishing the first dedicated computer forensic lab at AFOSI. The AFOSI specialized in investigating intrusions in government and military systems by unauthorized persons in counterintelligence organizations and criminals. Mr. Schmidt has additional experience with the government, law enforcement, and military. He has served as the head of the Computer Exploitation Team for the FBI National Drug Intelligence Center and has been recognized as one of the pioneers in the field of computer forensics and computer evidence collection. In addition, Mr. Schmidt was a city police officer for the Chandler, Arizona, Police Department and has served in the military reserves since 1989. In fact, he currently serves as a credentialed special agent in the U.S. Army Reserves, Criminal Investigation Division. He has testified as an expert witness in federal and military courts in the areas of computer crime, computer forensics and Internet activity. Mr. Schmidt has held various leadership positions. He served as the international president of the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA) and the Information Technology Information Sharing and Analysis Center (IT-ISAC). He was an executive board member of the International Organization of Computer Evidence, and served as the co-chairman of the Federal Computer Investigations Committee. He served as an advisory board member for the Technical Research Institute of the National White Collar Crime Center. He served as an augmented member to the President’s Committee of Advisors on Science and Technology in the formation of an Institute for Information Infrastructure Protection. Mr. Schmidt was one of 29 industry leaders called to the White House to meet with President Clinton on cybersecurity. He has testified before a joint committee on computer security, and has been instrumental in the creation of public and private partnerships and information-sharing initiatives. Mr. Schmidt holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration and a master’s degree in organizational management. He is also a member of the American Academy of Forensic Scientists. William A. Wulf, Ph.D. William A. Wulf, Ph.D., is on leave from the University of Virginia to serve as President of the National Academy of Engineering. Together with the National Academy of Sciences, the NAE operates under a Congressional Charter to provide advice to the government on issues of science and technology. Much of this advice is provided through the National Research Council, the operating arm of the two Academies; Dr. Wulf serves as Vice Chair of the NRC. At Virginia, Dr. Wulf is a University Professor and holds the AT&T Chair in Engineering and Applied Science. His activities at the University include completely revising the undergraduate Computer Science curriculum, researching computer architecture and computer security, and assisting humanities scholars in exploiting information technology. In 1988-90, Dr. Wulf was on leave from the University to be the Assistant Director of the National Science Foundation (NSF) where he headed the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE). CISE was responsible for computer science and engineering research as well as for operating the National Supercomputer Centers and NSFnet -- the backbone on the Internet at that time. While at NSF, Dr. Wulf was deeply involved in the development of the High Performance Computing and Communication Initiative and in the formative discussions of the proper government role in developing the National Information Infrastructure. Dr. Wulf has remained active as an advisor to NSF and, for example, was a member of the recent task force that recommended re- restructuring the supercomputer program. Prior to joining Virginia, Dr. Wulf founded Tartan Laboratories and served as its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Tartan developed and marketed optimizing compilers -- programs that translate high-level languages such as FORTRAN or C into highly efficient computer codes. Dr. Wulf developed the technical basis for Tartan based on his research as a Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie-Mellon University. This research spanned programming systems and computer architecture. While at Carnegie-Mellon and Tartan, Dr. Wulf was active in the "high tech" community in Pittsburgh. He helped found the Pittsburgh High Technology Council and served as Vice President and Director from its creation. He also helped found the CEO Network, the CEO Venture Fund, and served as an advisor to the Western Pennsylvania Advanced Technology Center. In 1983 he was awarded the Enterprise "Man of the Year" Award for these and other activities. Dr. Wulf has been a consultant to numerous computing and telecommunications companies. This consulting, together with the experience in his own company and at NSF, has given him a rare opportunity to develop a perspective on the relation between universities, industry and government. Dr. Wulf holds a bachelor's degree in engineering physics and a master's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Illinois, while his Ph.D. is in computer science from the University of Virginia. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is also a Fellow of three professional societies: the ACM, the IEEE, the AAAS.
