DR. ARTHUR J. MURRAY SUMMARY:
Dr. Murray has more than 25 years of experience in the fields of electronics technologies and systems engineering. He is president of Telart
Technologies, Inc., an affiliated entity with the Enterprise Knowledge Management Group, Inc. He founded Telart Technologies in 1993 for the purpose of helping organizations manage corporate knowledge. He is
a recognized expert in the field of knowledge management and has been leading the successful implementation of advanced information and knowledge systems for over twenty-five years. His accomplishments include the
development of case-based reasoning systems, expert systems, distributed AI planning systems and large multi-domain knowledge networks. Dr. Murray is an adjunct professor in the School of Engineering and
Applied Science at The George Washington University, where he has taught at the graduate level for over fifteen years. He developed and taught the school's first knowledge management course. He is Co-Founder
of the Behavioral and Computational Neuropsychology (BCN) Group, Inc., an international research organization dedicated to achieving a deeper understanding of the structures and flows of knowledge in nature and
society. He has lectured internationally and is currently collaborating with American and Russian scientists on integrating eastern and western approaches to knowledge management, and is a member of the editorial
board of the KMCI (Knowledge Management Consortium International) Journal. Dr. Murray's 10 plus years of experience with major federal government support contractor organizations include technical and scientific
staff and management roles. He has led R&D and IT/Telecommunications systems requirements, design and implementation efforts supporting PPB systems; command, control, communication and intelligence systems;
and analyst workstation prototype developments integrating knowledge based, natural language and artificial intelligence driven technologies. EXPERIENCE: Telart Technologies, Inc. — As
founder and president, Dr. Murray has led numerous special projects for clients in support of the Department of Defense (USD(A&T), DARPA, BMDO) and the Department of Energy (Energy Information Administration).
These include ongoing support for the development of the annual Science and Technology plans that accompany the President's Budget submission to Congress. Under DARPA's agile manufacturing initiative, Dr. Murray
built a knowledge network that captured and managed over 1,500 concepts and 50,000 relationships linked to a corpus of over 150 documents. For the System Planning Corporation, he provided technical support to
DARPA on the Self-Aware Reasoning and Control System (SARACS) Program, the Arsenal Ship, and the RST-V Program. Currently, Dr. Murray is supporting the US Army Research Laboratory in the joint Russian-American
development of Cognitive Computer Graphics technology. He conducts seminars and workshops aimed at helping organizations to plan and implement knowledge management initiatives.
The George Washington University — As adjunct professor in the School of Engineering and Applied Science, Dr. Murray teaches executive masters degree courses in engineering management and systems engineering, and
advises students conducting doctoral research in the school's knowledge management program. He was one of the first professors at the university to conduct classroom discussions, examinations and virtual
enterprise simulations over the Internet, and he developed and taught the first knowledge management course in the School of Engineering and Applied Science. For the GWU Institute for Artificial
Intelligence Dr. Murray was team leader for the development of the INNOVATOR scenario generator (a knowledge elicitation tool to support software reuse). He designed user interfaces for the INNOVATOR asset
management expert system (used by the Department of Defense), and the Expert Project Management System (NASA). Dr. Murray also developed a shared memory (blackboard) expert system architecture to support
analogy-based reasoning, and designed the user interface for a prototype analogical reasoning expert system generator. He performed a quantitative evaluation of expert system tools developed at the Institute, and
served as liaison between Institute developers and sponsors in government and industry. Gemini Industries Inc. — As project leader, Dr. Murray supported the General Services Administration in the migration of
the US Army Probe planning, programming and budgeting system from a mainframe to a client/server environment. The Probe system supports all organizations within the Department of the Army in preparing program and
budget submissions to the Secretary of Defense, Congress and the President. Dr. Murray performed a requirements analysis of the existing system and developed a set of alternative enhancements for evaluation by the
user community. He led the development and testing of a pilot system for development, testing and management of end-user applications within a PC-based, secure local area network environment. He also
designed modifications to the user interface to support more flexible query/report generation. Dr. Murray has performed similar requirements analyses for the General Services Administration headquarters and the
Defense Logistics Agency. McDonnell Douglas Electronic Systems Company — As Manager, Advanced Technology, Dr. Murray established the Intelligence Support Systems Laboratory and R&D Program. He
developed and successfully demonstrated a prototype analyst's workstation by integrating database, graphical user interface, knowledge-based systems and natural language technologies. This project received the
highest score among startup R&D projects in the company during the government evaluation. As recipient of the company's first President's Initiative Award, Dr. Murray developed an operational testbed network
linking corporate research laboratories in five states. The network was used to share laboratory resources and to support joint research in human-machine collaboration in distributed environments, and the
application of distributed AI systems to planning and problem solving. Titan Systems, Inc. —
As the First Titan Systems Fellow, Dr. Murray developed command and control architectures for the Defense Communications Agency and special panels within the Office of the Secretary of Defense. He provided a quantitative assessment of US command and control systems worldwide, performed information flow analyses, and developed distributed concepts for enhancing system survivability and performance. For this, he received a letter of commendation from the Director, Defense Intelligence Agency. He also developed a life cycle cost database to support quick-response cost tradeoff studies. For the Defense Nuclear Agency, Dr. Murray developed an AI-based information systems architecture and prototype expert system to support strategic arms control treaty compliance monitoring.
