Bio:

• SIGGRAPH 1999

  Robert J. Barton Ill is the Project Director of Transatlantic Research and Development Environment (TRADE) Program, and Department Leader for Global Work Environments at the Fraunhofer Center for Research in Computer Graphics (in Providence, Rhode Island. His primary responsibilities include directing the development of distributed collaborative environments in support of TRADE, a designated G7 testbed project for enabling technologies in global electronic business. Bob’s engineering career has included engineering billets on US Naval Surface ships, instructor duty at the Naval Academy, and systems engineering branch head for the Trident Missile Program of Strategic Systems Programs Office, Sunnyvale, CA. His areas of research include VLSI High-radix arithmetic circuits, computing the average number of nodes of Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams (OBDD ), and the modeling and analysis of multicast network protocols.
