PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

10/91-Present, AT&T Government Solutions Inc. (Formerly GRCI), Vienna, VA., Principal Systems Engineer.

9/96-Present: Intelligent Agent Systems.

• Investigator on Components for Ontology Driven Information Push (CODIP), http://codip.grci.com/. DARPA sponsored project with 3 main areas of research supporting the entire life cycle: Ontology Development using Unified Modeling Language (UML) Tools, Ontology Articulation and Fact Processing to support a MARIA Publish and Subscribe Darpa Agent Markup Language (DAML)/ Ontology Web Language (OWL) driven architecture. Components included Java Expert System Shell (JESS) rule engine, Java Servlets, Java Messaging System (JMS) communication, Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) backed by Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA). Current efforts are focused on development of a joint OMG Ontology Definition Metamodel for exchange of Ontologies with UML tools to facilitate develeopment and visualization.

Mr. Emery has additionally participated in the following projects:

• Principal System Engineer on CIO Workflow System. Design and Development of Solution to Integrate AT&T custom Cookie Based Single Sing On Solution with PlumTree Authentication. Solution involves Microsoft .net (C# flavor) Classes and Web Service, ASP pages, Javascript, Plumtree Event Interface classes and Custom Authentication Provider.

• Principal System Engineer on Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (BCIS) demo/prototype project. Design and development of architecture and solution components to quickly prototype a system to be demonstrated to BCIS. System driven from a workflow engine through Microsoft's .net (c# flavor) with COM calls into Haley Enterprise's rule engine (Agent OCX). Some rules developed with Haley's English based tool (Authority). Remainder of rules written using the rule language eclipse. Callbacks into C# from the rules were done using COM to perform ODBC communications with an Oracle 9i( 9.0.2.2) database and webservice calls to Webmethod based components.

• Principal System Engineer on Federal Trade Commission "Do Not Call" (FTC DNC) project. Completed design and implementation of the help desk and the consumer complaints portions of the project. Additionally provided guidance and an estimate on a Java based multi-file download enhancement to the telemarketer portion of the system. The system is composed of a large-scale web farm with a Sun/Oracle 9i database and a Microsoft .Net-based presentation, business, and data access layers. Key elements include a MSMQ-based messaging midleware that reduces the load on the database and increases responsiveness, an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system to capture user input via phone, a large-download Intelligent Caching and Downloading Service (ICDS), and set of external interfaces implemented as web services using the .Net platform. The user interface is written in ASP.Net/C#. The data access components are written in C# and the data entities are represented in XML. XML serialization is used to transfer data entities across the system layers. MSMQ queues are used to queue up asynchronous user requests for registration in the "Do Not Call" registry. Oracle 9i running on a clustered Sun V480 server implements the database layer. Database logic is written in PL/SQL. Completed design and development of the following components: data-access layer using ADO.Net, object serialization using XML, database programming using PL/SQL, and the design and implementation of an XML-based interface with the interactive voice system (IVR).

• Principal System Engineer on Joint Warrior Interoperability Demonstration (JWID) 2003 project. Design and development of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) client/server architecture to quickly prototype a system to be demonstrated at JWID 2003. System provides an Instant Messaging chat capability with language translation and optional voice to text, text to speech features using AT&T Watson & NaturalVoices products.

• Principal System Engineer supporting Joint Warfare System (JWARS). Performed System Administration and Security Engineering tasks at internal and external secure sites installing and running the JWARS software suite. Assisted in development of platform independent product installation using Install Shields Java based Multiplatform product.

• Principal System Engineer supporting NASA website (nasa.gov). Performed System Administration tasks supporting hosting and deployment of a newly designed website for nass.gov in a 2 week time-frame. The site went live Friday January 31, 2003 at midnight. Architecture included 2 load balanced Sun servers, Network storage and 3 Windows/Intel hosts supporting site search.

• Technical Lead on Join Expeditionary Forces Experiment (JEFX) 2000 project. Provided team tasking and guidance, system engineering support, design and development to quickly prototype a system that resulted in a successful JEFX demonstration. Trained Air Evacuation squadron in the use of the new software for JEFX 2000. Provided demonstration of independently developed Java/Palm prototype.

• Provided development, testing and implementation support to the Anticipatory Support Architecture (ASA) MARIA project to continue developing the artificial intelligence work started under the ALP project.

• Migrated previous MARIA project entirely to a JAVA solution using XML, JESS and JNDI. Applied infrastructure to new problem domain; designed and coded new components further facilitating middle-ware use of MARIA.

• Provided Windows NT administration expertise and system engineering support for a WEB-based training product about NT administration.

• Helped design and support a secure extranet file exchange system. The system consists of stronghold web server, authentication server, and apache server in a DMZ style configuration. The system allows users to authenticate using SeurID or Basic http password security and files are shared over an SSL encrypted channel.

• Supports business development and proposal efforts; writes technical proposal sections and produces proposed schedules of effort.

• As a System Engineer on a commercial project using MARIA, provided rough order of magnitude on high-level project requirements, performed requirements analysis and produced schedules, designed and implemented two prototypes of viable commercial products.

• As a System Security Engineer providing consulting services for AT&T, evaluated and established project requirements with senior management; performed security analysis and designed and implemented solutions and countermeasures involving firewall, secure login and encryption technologies.

• As a Senior Systems Engineer assigned to the Advanced Logistics Program (ALP), developed Modular Architecture for Roving Intelligent Agents (MARIA) using JAVA, C++, CORBA, and Rete++ under UNIX.

• Performed Oracle database administration (under DEC, Linux and Solaris operating systems ) as well as system administration of Solaris, DEC Alpha, Redhat Linux and Windows NT.
