The company\ndevelops advanced dynamic robots and human simulation products for virtual prototyping and training.\nBefore Boston Dynamics\, Raibert was Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at\nMIT from 1986 1995. Raibert's laboratory at MIT\, the Leg Laboratory\, was well known for its work\non legged robots that were biologically inspired and moved dynamically. Several of Boston\nDynamics products are outgrowths of research done by Raibert's group at MIT. Before joining MIT\,\nRaibert was Associate Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie-Mellon University from 1980 -\n1986. Before that\, he was a Member of Technical Staff at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory from 1977 -\n1980. Raibert is a member of the National Academy of Engineering\, has served on several editorial\nboards and has published widely.

SUMMARY:Clustera: An Integrated Computation and Data Management System
LOCATION:32-123
DESCRIPTION:Series: Dertouzos Lecturer Series 2008/2009\nSpeaker: David DeWitt\, University of Wisconsin\nHost: Hari Balakrishnan & Sam Madden\, CSAIL\nContact: Colleen Russell\, 3-0145\, crussell@csail.mit.edu\nRefreshment Time: \nRelevant URL: \nBiography:\nDavid J. DeWitt joined the Computer Sciences Department at the University of Wisconsin in September 1976 after receiving his Ph.D. degree from the University of Michigan. He served as department chair from July 1999 to July 2004. He held the title John P. Morgridge Professor of Computer Sciences when he retired from the University of Wisconsin and joined Microsoft as a Technical Fellow in 2008.\n\nProfessor DeWitt is a member of the National Academy of Engineering (1998)\, a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2007)\, and an ACM Fellow (1995). He received the 1995 SIGMOD Innovations Award for his contributions to the database systems field. \n\nWhile a professor at Wisconsin his research program has focused on the design and implementation of database management systems including parallel\, object-oriented\, and object-relational database systems. In the late 1980s his Gamma parallel database system project produced many of key pieces of technology that form the basis for todays generation of large parallel database systems including products from IBM\, NCR/Teradata\, Netezza\, Tandem\, and Oracle. Throughout his career he has also been interested in database system performance evaluation. He developed the first relational database system benchmark in the early 1980s\, which became known as the Wisconsin benchmark. More recently\, his research program has focused on the design and implementation of distributed database techniques for executing complex queries against the content of the Internet.\n\nProfessor DeWitt has authored over 120 technical publications and served on numerous program committees and NSF Review Panels. He was a member of the NSF CISE Advisor Committee from 2000-2003\, the CSTB from 2005-2007\, and has served on several NRC and DARPA study panels. He was the program chair of the 1983 SIGMOD conference\, program co-chair of the 1988 VLDB conference\, and general chair of the 2002 SIGMOD Conference. He has graduated thirty-three Ph.D. students. \n\nDr. DeWitt has served as a consultant to numerous companies including IBM\, NCR\, Informix\, Tandem\, and Microsoft on a variety of technical issues regarding the design and implementation of database systems.
