Glenn Fowler is an
AT&T Fellow
and Technology Leader in the
Network Services Research Center
at
AT&T Labs Research
in Florham Park, New Jersey.
He started work with AT&T Bell Labs in the Electronic Power Systems
Laboratory in 1979,
and after a year went back for
a PhD in electrical engineering from
Virginia Tech,
completed in 1984, and returned to Bell Labs in the
Advanced Software Department.
Since then he has worked with essentially the same colleagues
(ignoring the one year "sabbatical" with
Vitesse
in 1985.)
Glenn has been involved with research on software
configuration management, portability, algorithms, and ease of use.
He is the author of
nmake,
a configurable ANSI C preprocessor library, the
coshell
network execution service, and the POSIX standard
pax
archiver.
Current research interests include large data access, management,
and compression.
This work has culminated in
pzip,
a data compressor that betters the standard
gzip
compressor by a factor of two in space and time for a large class of data
managed by AT&T.
