Authors’ biographies

John Mark Agosta
John Mark Agosta is part of the Intel Research DDI network intrusion detection project. His work involves developing probabilistic models for intelligent diagnosis and management. Previously he worked on automated response to customer inquiries for Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software while working at Edify Corporation. From 1998-2000 he was Chief Technical Officer (CTO) for Knowledge Industries, where he built Bayes networks for medical, avionics, and automobile clients. From 1992 to 1998 he worked as a research engineer at SRI International. He built models for electric utility generator alarm filtering and computer network intrusion detection. He also worked in automated planning for emergency response and USAF air campaign planning. Agosta received his Ph.D. degree in the Engineering-Economic Systems Department (now Management Science and Engineering) of Stanford University in 1991. His thesis topic was on an application of Bayes networks to visual recognition. His e-mail is john.m.agosta at intel.com.
