Carnegie Mellon Prof Raj Reddy named Co-Chair of President's Committee. Raj Reddy, the Herbert A. Simon university professor of computer science and robotics at Carnegie Mellon University, has been named co-chairman of the President's Information Technology Advisory Committee (PITAC), the White House announced. He will co-chair PITAC for a two-year term with Irving Wladawsky-Berger, vice president and general manager, Internet Division, IBM Corp. PITAC was established by President Clinton in 1997 to provide the President, the Office of Science and Technology Policy and the Federal agencies involved in Computing Information and Communications (CIC) research and development with guidance and advice on all areas of high-performance computing, communications and information technologies. Representing the research, education and library communities and including network providers and representatives from critical industries, the committee will help guide the administration's efforts to accelerate development and adoption of information technologies vital for American prosperity in the 21st century. "In its advisory role to the President and Congress, PITAC will assist in formulating national policy in this increasingly important area," Reddy said. "Investments in information technology over the last 30 to 40 years have resulted in industries with hundreds of billions of dollars of market capitalization. Unlike other areas of the economy, information technology has the potential to transform society in important new ways. Our country must continue to provide leadership in this critical area."
