Senior Contributing Editor Brian Chee is the Director and founder of the Advanced Network Computing Laboratory at the University of Hawaii's School of Ocean and Earth Sciences and Technology (SOEST). E-mail him at brian_chee@infoworld.com.

Based in Oahu, the Univ. of Hawaii School of Ocean and Earth Sciences and Technology's Advanced Network Computing Laboratory (SOEST ANCL) is designed to test cutting-edge enterprise- and carrier-class networking equipment and provides high-quality tests for publication as well as real-world network-engineering experience for computer science students attending the university. The University of Hawaii has a long history in network research. It is the home of AlohaNet - the precursor to Ethernet - and is where the world's first CSMA (carrier sense multiple access) networks were invented. AlohaNet was later confined to wires by Bob Metcalf of Xerox PARC, collision detection was added, and the name was changed to Ethernet.
