For much of his career, Dr. Langenberg was Professor of Physics and, for a time,
also Professor of Electrical Engineering and Science at the University of Pennsyl-
vania. There he directed a materials research facility, the Laboratory for Research
on the Structure of Matter, and sewed as Vice Provost for Graduate Studies and
Research. From 1980 to 1982, he sensed as Deputy Director of the National Science
Foundation and, for several months, as Acting Director. He became the first
Chancellor of the University of Illinois' Chicago campus (UIC) in 1983. His research
interests were in condensed matter physics and included the Fermi surfaces of
metals and semiconductors, tunneling, Josephson effects and nonequilibrium
phenomena in superconductors, and precision measurement and the fundamental
physical constants. He has served on many boards and advisory committees, and is
currently a member of the Board of Directors of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science (AAAS). Dr. Langenberg holds a B.S. degree from Iowa State
University, an M.S. degree from the University of California at Los Angeles, and a Ph.D.
degree from the University of California at Berkeley, all in physics. He also holds an
honorary MA. and an honorary D.Sc. from the University of Pennsylvania. Unfortu
nately, he is, as noted in the Preface, computer illiterate.

research interest is in artificial intelligence, in particular the design of intelligent
computer programs that assist scientists and physicians. These include pro-
grams and methods for knowledge acquisition and machine learning, scientific
hypothesis formation, and construction of expert systems. He was one of the
principals in the design and development of DENDRAL, Meta-DENDRAL, MYCI,
E-MYCIN, and PROTEAN systems. Dr. Buchanan holds a BA. degree in mathe-
matics from Ohio Wesleyan University, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in philosophy

WILLIAM J. EMERY, Professor, Aerospace Engineering Science, Colorado
Center for Astrodynamics Research, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado.
Trained as a physical oceanographer, Dr. Emery leads a group concentrating
on satellite remote sensing of atmosphere and ocean. In cooperation with
NOAA's Program for Regional Observing and Forecasting Services (PROPS), his
group operates a satellite receiving system to collect data from operational
weather satellites. His research interests include large-scale ocean and atmo
sphere problems with an emphasis on the analysis of large volumes of data. As a
consequence of the need to analyze satellite images, he has developed new
image-processing tools for SUN, DEC/SPX, and Macintosh II workstations in order
to provide students with easy access to a variety of display systems. Dr. Emery
has a B.S. from Brigham Young University in mechanical engineering and a Ph.D.
from the University of Hawaii in physical oceanography.
