David L. Brock
Dave Brock is Principal Research Scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and is Founder and Director of the MIT Data Center, an interdisiplinary industry sponsored project to build an interoperable modeling and data system for practical application in industry. The centerpiece of this effort is the M Language and Dictionary that will enable the ability to do semantic modeling by linking data and models together across the Internet.
Dave's principal fields on interest include interoperability of computing systems, Internet control, computer graphics, and the health care industry. Besides his duties in leading the MIT Data Center and developing the M Language and Dictionary, Dave also is responsible for the healthcare group, including work in the area of bioinformatics relating to information related issues in the biotechnology industry.
Prior to founding the MIT Data Center, Dave co-founded and served as a Director at the Auto-ID Center (now Auto-ID Labs and EPCglobal). The Center was an international research consortium formed as a partnership among more than 100 global companies and five leading research universities. The size of this project exceeded $25 million and spanned over three years. David is also Assistant Research Professor of Surgery at Tufts University Medical School and Founder and Chief Technology Officer of endoVia Medical, Inc., a manufacturer of computer controlled medical devices.
His most recent publication titled "An Introduction to Semantic Modeling for Logistical Systems" was published in the Journal of Business Logistics. A forerunner of this article won the E. Grosvenor Plowman Award, given by the Council for Supply Chain Management Professionals for best paper in 2004.
Dr. Brock holds bachelors’ degrees in theoretical mathematics and mechanical engineering, as well as master and Ph.D. Degrees, from MIT. Dave can be reached at dlb@mit.edu
