- Rick Hayes-Roth (born 1947) is currently a professor in the Information Sciences Department at the United States Navy's Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. At NPS he teaches the "capstone" course on strategy and policy in exploiting information technology . Prior to joining the NPS faculty, he was the Chief Technology Officer for Software at Hewlett-Packard. Before that he was Chairman and Chief Executive of two Silicon Valley companies which he co-founded. He was the program director for research in Information Processing at The Rand Corporation and, prior to that, was one of the co-inventors of the first continuous speech understanding systems, Hearsay-II, which became the ubiquitous “blackboard architecture. ” Dr. Hayes-Roth's contributions have helped establish several methods and technologies now widespread in business and government for exploiting machine intelligence. Rule-based systems and expert systems routinely solve important problems and help organizations achieve higher levels of performance. His work on Valued Information at the Right Time (VIRT) shows how smart push can increase communication efficiency by as much as five orders of magnitude. VIRT is being embraced by the Department of Defense and leading IT organizations such as Oracle. Dr. Hayes-Roth has promoted the idea of developing semantic models for information sharing based on their usefulness in end-to-end transactions. This kind of approach has been pioneered in collaborative business areas such as electronics RosettaNet and mortgage processing MISMO. In the defense and security area, he has formulated a concept of Rich Semantic Track that would provide a standard formalized model of mobile entities with intention. Such a model would enable agencies to share information about aircraft or surface ships, for example, as well as their crews. In 2008, this work culminated in the release by the US Navy of the Maritime Information Exchange Model (MIEM) . The MIEM provides a semantic model, embodied in an XML schema, for tracking people, cargo, vessels, and facilities, as well as relationships among them including threats, anomalies, and other events. Through an interagency agreement, the MIEM will become the maritime domain model within the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM). The NIEM is an interagency program lead by DHS that provides information models to support collaborative sharing across federal, state, and local agencies. Dr. Hayes-Roth has written more than 100 published papers and co-authored three other books, Building Expert Systems, Pattern-Directed Inference System, and Radical Simplicity: Transforming Computers into Me-Centric Appliances. Dr. Hayes-Roth also recently published his book, Hyper-Beings: How Intelligent Organizations Attain Supremacy through Information Superiority. The term hyper-being was coined during a “Bold Ideas” group meeting chaired by Marv Langston, then Deputy Chief Information Officer of the United States Department of Defense (DoD). Dr. Langston previously directed the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Information Systems Office, the group responsible for creating radical new possibilities to enhance DoD's performance using superior information technology. Dr. Hayes-Roth held faculty positions at MIT, Stanford, and Carnegie Mellon, as well as NPS. He is a Fellow of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, a Senior Member of the IEEE, and a member of the Association for Computing Machinery.
