Ian Gorton is a member of the Empirical Software Engineering group at National ICT Australia (NICTA), based in Sydney, Australia. NICTA is Australia's centre of excellence for Information and Communications Technology. He was previously the Chief Architect in Information Sciences and Engineering at PNNL in USA, and has also worked for IBM Transarc, Microsoft Australia and CSIRO. "I'm basically a software (architect, researcher, engineer). I work on a whole range of projects, including new middleware technology, designing architectures for enterprise applications, and carrying out software architecture research. I guess I must enjoy the variety!"
