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.

Farewell Kohei
I was shocked earlier this week when I found out that Kohei Honda passed away suddenly. I've known Kohei personally for a few years but longer in terms of his influence on the field of distributed systems. The work that we've been doing around Savara, WS-Choreography, Pi Calculus and beyond, has been better for his involvement. We were talking about new bodies of collaborative work only in the last few weeks, which makes his death even more shocking and personal. He will be missed and my best wishes go out to his family and his other friends and colleagues.
