I am a research computer scientist working at Bell Communications
Research in the Artificial Intelligence and Information Science
Research Group in Morristown, NJ. I am interested in
machine-readable texts as they can be used in computer systems to
perform AI tasks and in the way in which the legal system will evolve
to permit/hinder the development of an information-based electronic
society. I have a Ph.D. from Univ. of Texas (in CS/Info.Science/
Anthropological-Linguistics) and an M.S. (Math/C.S.)
from NYU and have previously worked for SRI International in Menlo
Park, CA. My main interest in info-law at present concerns how the
copyright law will evolve to handle new media and the impact this
will have on the possibilities for the transfer of information
electronically.
