  Do you have an idea? The ques­tion in any com­pany or research lab is how to free it from the bureau­cracy to see if it works. For all of us to see if it makes things bet­ter. We’re really enter­ing a time where terms like ”inno­va­tion econ­omy” can­not sim­ply be buzz words that fall by the wayside.
  
  So wel­come to Let’s Inno­vate, a col­lab­o­ra­tive exchange on the sub­ject of innovation. Let’s Inno­vate is all about the tech­nolo­gies, peo­ple, com­pa­nies and mind­sets that are going to make what’s next pos­si­ble. So if you are try­ing to move mas­sive data sets from point A to point B, there’s a place to fig­ure it out.
  
  A detec­tive on the truf­fle hunt look­ing for speed gains in mature prod­ucts and process, let’s talk about. Or are you the high flier with a new kind of ideas about how peo­ple can exchange data and col­lab­o­rate bet­ter? We’d like to hear about the con­fer­ence you’re speak­ing at. Try­ing to fig­ure out how to get a good idea into the clear blue and make­able light of day? Per­haps we can sug­gest some paths to nav­i­gate.
  
  One thing is for sure; inno­va­tion is never done in a vac­uum. It’s going to take col­lab­o­ra­tion between peo­ple, com­pa­nies, lead­ing research insti­tu­tions and even gov­ern­ments to get us all beyond the melt­down in a way that’s not smoke and mir­rors. So Let’s inno­vate. Together.

  As Darkstrand’s Chief Tech­nol­ogy Offi­cer, W.R. (or Bill) Wing’s respon­si­bil­i­ties include pro­vid­ing over­sight to net­work archi­tec­ture and all of the tech­ni­cal and col­lab­o­ra­tive solu­tion plan­ning with part­ner HPC facil­i­ties and Dark­strand cor­po­rate cus­tomers. Bill was most recently the Senior Research Staff Mem­ber of the Net­work­ing Research Group in the Com­puter Sci­ence and Math­e­mat­ics Divi­sion of the Oak Ridge National Lab­o­ra­tory (ORNL). Bill was the prin­ci­pal net­work archi­tect and project man­ager respon­si­ble for archi­tect­ing, plan­ning and direct­ing the con­struc­tion of their FutureNet DWDM net­work infra­struc­ture that linked ORNL and selected research uni­ver­si­ties in the Ten­nessee Val­ley to Chicago and Atlanta at mul­ti­ple 10 Gigabits/sec speed. He filled ORNL’s chair on the National Lamb­daRail after nego­ti­at­ing the Laboratory’s mem­ber­ship. He was also the co-principal inves­ti­ga­tor on DOE’s Ultra­Science Net Test­bed that demon­strated the clear ben­e­fits of switched, dynamic, ded­i­cated cir­cuits for sup­port­ing DOE’s sci­ence mis­sion. Besides test­beds, Bill is the author of numer­ous papers on net­work archi­tec­ture and large data trans­mis­sion. Bill holds a Ph.D in Physics from the Uni­ver­sity of Iowa.
