Eric
Bonabeau is one of the world's leading experts in complex
systems and distributed adaptive problem solving. He has
a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from Paris-Sud University in France,
and he spent several years as a Research Fellow at the Santa Fe
Institute. He is also an alumnus of the two premier French
universities, Ecole Polytechnique and Ecole Nationale Supérieure
des Télécommunications. Eric is Co-Editor-in-Chief of the
journal Advances in Complex Systems and serves as a member
of the editorial board of the journals Artificial Life
and Information Sciences . He is editor and co-author
of the book Intelligence Collective (Hermes Sciences, Paris)
and the co-author of the books Swarm Intelligence and
Self-Organization in Biological Systems. Eric's commercial
experience includes years of research and development in US and
European telecommunications and software companies as well as establishing
the firm Eurobios. He sits on the advisory board of several companies,
including a number of Fortune 500 corporations.
Scott
Borg comes to security issues from a background in business
economics and the theory of complex systems. In the mid-nineties,
he was one of the original developers of Value Creation Analysis,
a set of cooperative-game-theory-based techniques for determining
how much value can be created by various combinations of business
components. He has since applied this method successfully
to many problems involving information, pricing theory, supply chains,
internet intermediaries, and alliance management. He has
done work for the United Nations and lived in many foreign countries.
A frequent commentator on public radio, he has also lectured
at Harvard, Columbia, Yale, University of Chicago, Dartmouth, London,
and Massachusetts. Scott will be the Red Team Commander.
Jeff
Cares, President of Alidade Incorporated, is a naval futurist
and military innovation expert. As Co-founder of the Newport
Center for Information Age Warfare Studies in Rhode Island, he has
published pioneering work in the application of New Science techniques
to military problems. An Operations Research analyst, he
has extensive experience using classic OR techniques to develop
concepts of warfare for 50-years in the future. In
addition to lecturing internationally on Information Age Warfare,
Jeff advises military, New Economy and defense industry executives
on strategic investment decisions. Jeff conceived of and
developed the Co-Revolutionary Competition and has been the war
game series director since 2001.

J.C.
Herz is a researcher and designer who specializes
in networked interaction design: how the rule structure of
massively multiplayer systems alters human behavior within those
systems, and where, and how to introduce mechanisms that leverage
both the power of digital networks and the intrinsic attributes
of human nature and the social dynamics that emerge in groups, online
and offline. Clients include multinational corporations, nonprofit
organizations and the U.S. Defense Department (DARPA, OSD and other
agencies). J.C. sits on the National Research Council's Committee
on Creativity and Information Technology, and the Defense Advanced
Research Project Agency's study group on patterns of emergent behavior
in massively multiplayer persistent worlds. She is the author of
two books, Surfing on the Internet (Little Brown, 1994),
an ethnography of cyberspace before the web, and Joystick Nation:
How Videogames Ate Our Quarters, Won Our Hearts, and Rewired Our
Minds (Little Brown, 1997), a history of videogames which
traces the cultural and technological evolution of the first medium
that was born digital, and how it shaped the minds of a generation
weaned on Atari. J.C. published 100 essays on the grammar and syntax
of game design in New York Times between 1998-2000.
