I work for Red Hat, where I lead JBoss technical direction and research/development. Prior to this I was SOA Technical Development Manager and Director of Standards. I was Chief Architect and co-founder at Arjuna Technologies, an HP spin-off (where I was a Distinguished Engineer). I've been working in the area of reliable distributed systems since the mid-80's. My PhD was on fault-tolerant distributed systems, replication and transactions. I'm also a Professor at Newcastle University and Lyon.

A Washington Monument
When I first came to DC many years ago for a conference in Annapolis, I came with my friend Stuart and we spent a few days looking around. It was great and we saw all of the usual monuments and sights. At the time one of Stuart's friends who lived here gave us a tour (tip: get a local to show you round, you see more than in the guide books) and took us to see a monument/sculpture/work-of-art that I'd like to find again, but just don't know where to look. It was a giant hand coming up from the ground, near the ocean. Very cool looking. Must take a look through some of the local guide books.
