THE AUTHOR’S PREFACE
Welcome to the monograph “Who’s Who of World’s Leading Experts in IDTV, Media Management and Economics”. The author finds it important to point out that this is the first monographic “Who’s Who” publication in the field of IDTV, media management and economics.
The selection for the inclusion within the monograph is exclusively based on academic and
professional merit and career achievements. The main objectives for bringing together the
biographies of world’s most renowned experts in the field of IDTV, media management and
economics are fivefold:
1. to strengthen the research links within global media institutions
2. to assist more efficiently academic, corporate and governmental institutions to locate and
evaluate the work of world’s leading experts in the above mentioned fields
3. to foster further collaboration between international researchers and practitioners beyond
Europe
4. to engage in further development and promotion of the academic education and corporate
research, and collaboration in IDTV, Media Management and Economics
5. to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas among the global media community of academics, professionals, and practitioners who share their enthusiasm for these investigations.
The author included 718 biographies of the most important international experts in IDTV,
media management and economics. The experts are coming from 36 countries all over the
world (US, Germany, France, UK, Greece, The Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Switzerland, Norway, Canada, Italy, China, India, Australia, Montenegro, Poland, Estonia, Russia, Ireland, Spain, Austria, Slovenia, Serbia, Taiwan,
Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Croatia, Singapore, South Africa and Portugal).
After close consultation and examination of numerous refereed academic publications, journals, reviews, seminars, symposiums, conference and workshop proceedings, governmental,
industrial, business and corporate reports, documents, studies, and research (white) papers,
the author included the most established biographies of IDTV, media management and eco-
7
nomics experts. I expect readers to enjoy using and reading this monograph. Hopefully, they
will also consider it a useful and valuable source of information regarding the current state of
IDTV, media management and economics. The final version of the monograph was completed
during the MIT 5 (Media in Transition Conference) that took place at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on 27th of April 2007.

Hiroshi Ishii (b. 1956), Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, currently teaching the class MAS.834 Tangible Interfaces at the Media Lab. He is the father of a new and
rapidly growing field of research called Tangible Media. Ishii started the Tangible Media
research group and their ongoing Tangible Bits project in 1995, when he joined the MIT
Media Laboratory as a professor of Media Arts and Sciences. His team seeks to change the
“painted bits” of GUIs to “tangible bits” by giving physical form to digital information and
computation. His Tangible Media Group explores the Tangible Bits vision to design seamless
interfaces between people, digital information, and physical environments, by giving physical
form to digital information and computation so that users can directly manipulate information
with their hands. They are designing tangible user interfaces that employ physical objects,
surfaces, and spaces as tangible embodiments of digital information and computation exploiting the human senses of touch and kinesthesia. They also explore ambient media as reflections
of digital activity at the periphery of human awareness. Hiroshi Ishii co-directs the Media
Lab’s Things That Think (TTT) consortium, and directs the Lab’s Tangible Media group,
86
which explores ways to give physical form to digital information, seamlessly coupling the dual
worlds of bits and atoms. Ishii and his students have presented their vision of “Tangible Bits”
at a variety of academic, industrial design, and media art venues including ACM SIGCHI,
ACM SIGGRAPH, Industrial Design Society of America, and Ars Electronica, emphasizing
that the development of tangible interfaces requires the rigor of both scientific and artistic
review. A display of many of the group’s projects took place in “Tangible Bits” exhibition at
the NTT InterCommunication Center (ICC) in Tokyo in summer 2000. A new, two-year-long
exhibition “Get in Touch” that features the Tangible Media group’s work opened at Ars
Electronica Center (Linz, Austria) in September 2001. Ishii relocated from Japan’s NTT Human Interface Laboratories in Kyoto, where he had made his mark in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) in the early 1990s. Ishii is
an active researcher in the fields of human-computer interaction (HCI) and computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW). When Ishii came to the Media Lab in 1995 after 15 years at
NTT (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone), he was already internationally known as the designer of innovative media for real-time, remote collaboration. At NTT, his research team
designed TeamWorkStation and ClearBoard: pioneering collaboration media that provide seamless, shared workspace across distances. Prior to joining MIT, he held positions at NTT, the
German National Research Centre for Computer Science in Bonn (1986-1987), and was a
visiting assistant professor at the Computer Systems Research Institute of the University of
Toronto (1993-1994). Ishii regularly collaborates on projects that blur the boundaries between
a variety of arts, design, and scientific disciplines. He served as an Associate Editor of ACM
TOCHI (Transactions on Computer Human Interactions) and ACM TOIS (Transactions on
Office Information Systems). He also serves as a program committee member of many international conferences including ACM CHI, CSCW, UIST, SIGGRAPH, Multimedia, Interact,
ISMAR, and ECSCW. Ishii received B. E. degree in electronic engineering, M. E. and Ph. D.
degrees in computer engineering from Hokkaido University, Japan, in 1978, 1980 and 1992,
respectively. Personal homepage: http://www.media.mit.edu/~ishii. Contact details: Tel: 617

Nicholas Negroponte (b. 1943) is founder and chairman of the One Laptop per Child nonprofit association and a computer scientist best known as the founder and Chairman Emeritus
of Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Media Lab. He earned a Master’s degree in Architecture from MIT in 1966 and joined the faculty of MIT in 1966. For several years thereafter
Negroponte divided his teaching time between MIT and several visiting professorships at
124
Yale, Michigan, and the University of California, Berkeley. In 1967, he founded MIT’s Architecture Machine Group, a combination lab and think tank which studied new approaches to
human-computer interface. In 1985, Negroponte created the MIT Media Lab with Jerome B.
Wiesner. As director, he developed the lab into the pre-eminent computer science laboratory
for new media and a high-tech playground for investigating the human-computer interface. In
1992, Negroponte became involved in the creation of Wired Magazine as the first investor.
From 1993 to 1998, he contributed a monthly column to the magazine in which he reiterated a
basic theme: “Move bits, not atoms.” Negroponte expanded many of the idea from his Wired
columns into a bestselling book Being Digital (1995), which has been translated into more
than 40 languages and made famous his forecasts on how the interactive world, the entertainment world, and the information world eventually merge. In 2000, he stepped down as director
of the Media Lab as Walter Bender took over as Executive Director. However, Negroponte
retained the role of laboratory Chairman. When Frank Moss was appointed director of the lab
in 2006, Negroponte stepped down as lab chairman to focus more fully on his work with
OLPC although he retains his appointment as professor at MIT. In November 2005, at the
World Summit on the Information Society held in Tunis, Negroponte unveiled a $100 laptop
computer designed for students in the developing world. The project is part of a broader program by One Laptop Per Child, a non-profit organization started by Negroponte and other
Media Lab faculty, to extend Internet access in developing countries. Negroponte sits on several boards including Motorola and Ambient Devices. e is currently on leave from MIT, where
he was co-founder and director of the MIT Media Laboratory, and the Jerome B. Wiesner
Professor of Media Technology. In the private sector, Nicholas serves on the board of directors for Motorola, Inc. and as general partner in a venture capital firm specializing in digital
technologies for information and entertainment. Negroponte has provided start-up funds for
more than 40 companies, including Wired magazine, Zagats, Ambient Devices, and Skype.

change. In addition, Sylvie is studying the viability of long-distance, online advertising for
electronic newspapers. Since the late 1990s, he has co-authored several structural analyses of
online newspaper markets, discovering that all online newspapers attract traffic from outside
the print edition’s primary circulation area. He is currently examining U.S. daily newspaper
online usage statistics to determine the feasibility of long-distance advertising. Sylvie has coauthored a leading media management textbook, Media Management: A Casebook Approach,
set for 2007 for its fourth edition in publication by Lawrence Erlbaum Associates. Erlbaum
