 Dr. Fox has worked in a variety of applied computer science fields with his work on computational physics evolving into contributions to parallel computing initially involving the hypercube architecture. Publications 9) and 10) represent significant broad contributions to parallel computing. He has led activities to develop prototype high performance Java and Fortran compilers and their runtime support. He helped set up the Java Grande forum to encourage use of Java in large-scale computations. He has worked on the computing issues in several application areas – currently focusing on Chemical Informatics, DoD Information systems (3) and Earthquake Science (4). Fox is working with the Minority Serving Institutions in systemic deployment of Cyberinfrastructure. This builds on a long standing interest in parallel computing and other applied computer science interdisciplinary curriculum (5).A major activity has been the use of Grid technologies to build collaboration systems and their application in an integrated approach to synchronous and asynchronous distance education. This includes a Web service framework for audio-video conferencing (6). The Gateway computational portal was one of the earliest computing environments to integrate object and grid technologies. Fox co-chairs both the Semantic Grid and Grid Computing Environment (GCE) research groups of the Grid Forum (GGF) and is a member of the GGF Steering Group. He has designed built a modern information portal - the Online Knowledge Center for the PET program of the DoD HPCMO (High Performance Computing Modernization Office) and is a member of NSF Middleware Initiative OGCE project developing Grid portals. Fox co-edited a book (1)) with 43 chapters on Grid technology. His group has developed NaradaBrokering as an open source messaging system (7, 8) for Grids, Peer-to-peer networks and A/V conferencing. Recently he has been working on the core architecture for Grids (2) and e-Science in a major collaboration with the UK core e-Science program and their OMII (Open Middleware Infrastructure Institute).
