Mr. Steve Wozniak Silicon Valley icon and philanthropist for the past three decades, Steve Wozniak helped shape the computing industry with his design of Apple's first line of products the Apple I and II and influenced the popular Macintosh. In 1976, Wozniak and Steve Jobs founded Apple Computer Inc. with Wozniak's Apple I personal computer. The following year, he introduced his Apple II personal computer, featuring a central processing unit, a keyboard, color graphics, and a floppy disk drive. The Apple II was integral in launching the personal computer industry. In 1981, he went back to UC Berkeley and finished his degree in electrical engineering/computer science. For his achievements at Apple Computer, Wozniak was awarded the National Medal of Technology by the President of the United States in 1985, the highest honor bestowed on America's leading innovators. In 2000, he was inducted into the Inventors Hall of Fame and was awarded the prestigious Heinz Award for Technology, The Economy and Employment for "single-handedly designing the first personal computer and for then redirecting his lifelong passion for mathematics and electronics toward lighting the fires of excitement for education in grade school students and their teachers." After leaving Apple in 1985, Wozniak was involved in various business and philanthropic ventures, focusing primarily on computer capabilities in schools and stressing hands-on learning and encouraging creativity for students. Making significant investments of both his time and resources in education, he "adopted" the Los Gatos School District, providing students and teachers with hands-on teaching and donations of state-of-the-art technology equipment. He founded the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and was the founding sponsor of the Tech Museum, Silicon Valley Ballet and Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose. Wozniak currently serves as Chief Scientist for Fusion-io and is a published author with the release of his New York Times Best Selling autobiography, iWoz: From Computer Geek to Cult Icon, in September 2006 by Norton Publishing. His television appearances include reality show "Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List" and season eight of ABC's "Dancing with the Stars". |

7:45 a.m. – 9:00 a.m.Executive Panel Session An Industry View: The Convergence of Collaboration, Communication, and Content
Moderator: Mr. Russ Daniels Information technology has traditionally played a critical role in automating complex business processes and enhancing personal productivity. Increasingly it's playing a new role in facilitating collaboration between people and organizations. Social media, pervasie connectivity, mobile devices with rich sensors (GPS, accelerometers, cameras), rich displays (flexible display, 3D) and ever-cheaper compute and storage capabilities combine to change the way people interact with each other and with institutions. Many of these innovations occur first in the consumer world. The panel will bring leading technologists from the consumer industry together to paint the picture of how this trend will play out over time and discuss with the audience the implications for the circa 2020 military/national security force. Likely topics include the evolution of computing platforms, cloud computing, defense against malicious network and information collection attacks, user/machine interactions, machine-to-machine interaction, integration across various communications media, and management of the information explosion. |

This work helped uncover the nature of electronic markets, the detailed structure of the web and the laws governing the way people surf for information. One of the originators of the field of ecology of computation, Huberman published his book, "The Laws of the Web: Patterns in the Ecology of Information, " with MIT Press. Previously, Huberman worked in theoretical physics and he is one of the discoverers of phenomenon of chaos in a number of physical systems. In the field of information sciences, Huberman predicted the existence of phase transitions in artificial intelligence and large-scale distributed systems, and developed an economics approach to the problem of resource allocation in hard computational problems. Huberman is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), former trustee of the Aspen Center for Physics and Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, as well as a faculty member in Symbolic Systems Program at Stanford University.
