James Gosling
James Gosling received a BSc in Computer Science from the

a PhD in Computer Science
from
Carnegie-Mellon University in
1983. The title of his thesis was "The Algebraic Manipulation of Constraints".
He is currently a VP & Fellow at
Sun Microsystems.
He has built satellite data acquisition systems, a multiprocessor version of Unix,
several compilers, mail systems and window managers. He has also built a WYSIWYG
text editor, a constraint based drawing editor and a text editor called `Emacs'
for Unix systems. At Sun his early activity was as lead engineer of the NeWS
window system. He did the original design of the
Java programming language
and implemented its original compiler and virtual machine.
He has recently been a contributor to
the Real-Time Specification for Java,
and most recently was a researcher
at Sun labs
where his primary interest was software development
tools. He is now the Chief Technology Officer of Sun's Developer Products group.

Sun's Executive Vice President for Software, Rich Green, is responsible for the overall operational leadership
of Sun's software division, which has delivered some of the computer industry's most innovative technologies
and business models. Mr. Green oversees the Solaris Enterprise System, including the Solaris Operating System,
the Java Enterprise System suites, N1 management software, Sun Studio and Java Studio developer tools.
In addition, he leads a variety of industry-standards efforts and open source communities.
As Sun's chief Java advocate, Green played an essential role in the company's negotiations
leading to its landmark $1.6 billion settlement and 10-year collaboration agreement with Microsoft.
Green also spearheaded the development of such critical technological advancements
as Java Studio Creator and was instrumental in driving adoption for Sun's Java Virtual Machine software.
Previously, Green served as vice president and general manager of the Solaris products organization.

and worldwide marketing, to global sales and manufacturing. An
inveterate
blogger, Schwartz
has led Sun's drive toward transparency and openness in everything the
organization stands for.
A leader behind many of Sun's open source and standard setting
initiatives, from the open sourcing of Sun's flagship Solaris operating
system and UltraSPARC microprocessor, to the Liberty Alliance, a cross
industry effort to drive royalty free standards for secure network
identity, Jonathan's been an outspoken advocate for the network as a
utility with more than just value for the computing industry - but as a
tool for economic, social and political progress.
He joined sun in 1996 after the Company acquired Lighthouse
Design, where he was CEO and co-founder. Prior to that, Schwartz was
with McKinsey & Co. in New York City. Schwartz received degrees in
economics and mathematics from Wesleyan University.
