Peter R. Bono Dr. Peter R. Bono is the President of Peter R. Bono Associates, Inc., a computer consulting firm founded in 1986. His current consulting activities encompass collaborative computing, data mining, data visualization, and wireless services. He also uses his experience in user-interface design and software project management to plan and direct Web-related activities like corporate portal development and Web-enabled services. He has hands-on familiarity with HTML, DHTML, Java, JavaScript, VBScript, C, C++, Borland Delphi Pascal, Active Server Pages, XML, and SQL. He served as Chairman of the US Computer Graphics Standards Committee (X3H3) from 1979 to 1994 and as Chief Delegate for the US to ISO/IEC JTC1/SC24 from 1979 to 1989. During the development of the GKS, PHIGS, CGM, CGI, and IPI standards, he contributed substantially to their technical content. Dr. Bono received his A.B. cum laude in Mathematics from Harvard College and his M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Michigan. He has co-authored two books: CGM and CGI and PC Graphics Using GKS. He has also edited and contributed chapters to several other books. He has written, taught short courses, and lectured widely on topics related to standardization and systems integration. From 1993 to 1997, Dr. Bono served as Vice President and Head of the Global Visualization Services Department of the Fraunhofer Center for Research in Computer Graphics, Inc., a not-for-profit research institute located close to Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, Rhode Island. Dr. Bono is Associate Editor of Computers & Graphics. Dr. Bono’s research interests include user interfaces for mobile wireless applications. He has also been involved in volume visualization for medical applications. Dr. Bono is a member of ACM, ACM-SIGGRAPH, the IEEE Computer Society, IFIP, and Eurographics. He has served for 12 years as an elected member of the Eurographics Executive Committee, representing all members residing in countries outside Europe. In 1989, Dr. Bono received NCGA’s Award for the Advancement of Standards in Computer Graphics.
Dieter W. Fellner Professor Dieter W. Fellner is founding director of the Institute of Computer Graphics at the Braunschweig University of Technology, Germany and currently Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science. He has held academic positions at the University of Technology in Graz, Austria, the University of Denver, Colorado, the Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada, and the University of Bonn, Germany. He received his M.S. (Dipl.-Ing.) and his Ph.D. (Dr. Techn.) from the University of Technology in Graz, Austria in 1981 and 1984, respectively. He is Chairman of the Publications Board of the Eurographics Association, member of the Steering Committee 4.1 of the German Computer Society (GI), member of four editorial boards of scientific journals in Computer Science, two of which specialize in Computer Graphics, referee for a number of journals and research organizations, and program committee member and program chair of a number of international conferences. His main research and project areas over the years were formal languages, telematic services, user interface design, software engineering, computer graphics, and, most recently, digital libraries. Since Fall 1997, he is leading a strategic research initiative on Digital Libraries where approximately 60 researchers are funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) over a period of 6 years. He was elected Fellow of the Eurographics Association in 2000.
