Ian Clarke is a Computer Scientist and Entrepreneur, with a track record of both technical and business innovation, and an outspoken thinker and activist on issues relating to freedom of speech, intellectual property law, and technology. Ian is the founder and coordinator of the Freenet Project; designed to allow true freedom of communication, Freenet was the first decentralized anonymous peer-to-peer network, and a precursor of the "distributed hashtable" data structure. Ian has also founded a number of innovative and diverse commercial ventures, including Revver, the first online video website to share revenue with video creators, and Thoof, a collaboratively generated personalized news website. Ian's current focus is the development of SenseArray (through his company Uprizer Labs). SenseArray is a powerful new type of collaborative filter which can make use of arbitrary metadata in making recommendations. SenseArray is already being used in a wide variety of industries, ranging from online dating (we can't name the company but you've heard of it), to targeted advertising companies with revenues totaling in the hundreds of millions.

Dr. Ken Birman
Ken Birman [http://www.cs.cornell.edu] is The N. Rama Rao Professor of Computer Science at Cornell University. He heads Cornell's Live Information Objects project, which is developing new ways to create client-side mashups that blend hosted content with P2P multicast protocols. Security, reliability and data replication have been themes of his work for nearly thirty years, and many of today’s large cloud-computing platforms (for example, IBM Web Sphere, Microsoft Enterprise Clustering and a number of Amazon’s “gossip-based” subsystems) draw on ideas first explored by his group. Birman's Isis Toolkit, which introduced the virtual synchrony model, is central to the French air traffic control system and US Navy AEGIS, and operated the New York Stock exchange for more than a decade. Isis was also used in hundreds of financial, process-control and data center settings. The author of several books and more than 200 journal and conference papers, Dr. Birman was Editor in Chief of ACM Transactions on Computer Systems from 1993-1998 and is a Fellow of the ACM. He has also founded and was CEO of three companies (Isis Distributed Systems, Reliable Network Solution and Web Sciences), and has consulted extensively for the industry, the US government, and the military.
