Author: Robert J. Glushko
Bob Glushko is an Adjunct Professor at the University of California at Berkeley in the School of Information Management and Systems, and the Director of the Center for Document Engineering.
He has over twenty-five years of R&D, consulting, and entrepreneurial experience in information management, electronic publishing, Internet commerce, and human factors in computing systems.
He founded or co-founded three companies, the last of which was Veo Systems in 1997, which pioneered the use of XML for electronic commerce before its 1999 acquisition by Commerce One. Veo's innovations included the Common Business Library (CBL), the first native XML vocabulary for business-to-business transactions, and the Schema for Object-Oriented XML (SOX), the first object-oriented XML schema language.
From 1999-2002 he headed CommerceOne's XML architecture and technical standards activities and was named an "Engineering Fellow" in 2000. He is a member of the Board of Directors for OASIS, an international consortium that drives the development, convergence, and adoption of e-business standards.
He is a co-author of the book, Document Engineering: Analyzing and Designing Documents for Business Informatics and Web Services (MIT Press, 2005).
Glushko has a PhD in cognitive psychology from the University of California, San Diego and a MS in Software Engineering from the Wang Institute.
