Opening Plenary & Keynote
A New Relevance for Multimedia When We Record Everything Personal
Gordon Bell (Microsoft Research)
Bio: Gordon Bell is a senior researcher at Microsoft Research. Gordon earned the moniker "father of the minicomputer" while serving as vice president of research and development for Digital Equipment Corporation, where he was responsible for the first mini and time-sharing computers and led the development of DEC's VAX. Gordon has been a professor at Carnegie Mellon, served as the first head of the NSF Computing Directorate, led the National Research Network panel that became the NII/GII, and is the author of books on computer technology and startups. He is a member of various professional organizations, including the National Academy of Engineering and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and received the 1991 National Medal of Technology. Gordon was instrumental in founding the Computer History Museum, and is digitizing his own history as part of the MyLifeBits project.
