Jan Hauser

Jan Hauser is a Principal Architect at Sun Microsystems, where he is an evangelist for Sun's new Jini technology and supports Sun's High Performance Computing (HPC) efforts. His interests include leading-edge technology and Complexity Science. Jan is responsible for Sun's membership in The Santa Fe Institute (SFI) and recently has been the catalyst for a workshop at The Institute For The Future (IFTF) - Growing At the Edge: The New Corporate Structures for Innovation and the Challenge of Governance.

Jan also has promoted the idea that Complexity Science may offer breakthroughs in the area of self-organizing computer systems. One early project proposal was to investigate the development of an Emergent Operating System (EOS). While this proposal is about three years old, it now seems that Jini invites this kind of Complexity Science application. One of his early efforts to marry Complexity Science and Jini was chronicled in July 1998 in the Wall Street Journal: "Looking to Give Executive A Living Computer"
