The
Software Group here at the DMC is made up of 7 very talented
people with diversified backgrounds. This diversity helps to
make this a very well rounded yet integrated group; able to
tackle very complex interfaces and data structures. Because
of the nature of our "business," cooperation and coordination
are essential to producing quality software products. Below
is a brief summary of the responsibilities of each of our software
engineers (listed in alphabetical order). |

| Rob
Casey
Rob has worked for IRIS for almost 9 years. Rob's focus at
this time is maintaining WILBER and NetDC services. His development
focus has been on Java solutions for SEED data processing
and a new Portable Data Collection Centers (PDCC) data management
tool.

Linus
Kamb
Linus divides his efforts between IRIS projects and SCEC-ITR
work. For IRIS, he is working primarily on an XML Station
Book and Station Engineering Log applications. As part of
the SCEC-ITR project, he assists in the development of the
so-called Pathway 2 component of the Community Modeling Environment. |

Chris
Laughbon
Chris is another long-time IRIS employee. His duties include
enhancement and maintenance of rdseed, verseed and pod. He
is also working on the development of DHI servers/clients,
including VASE. |
Sue
Schoch
Sue is one of the first IRIS DMC employees! Her main task
is database administrator. She is responsible for the software
used to process archive data requests as well as track the
progress of requests through the entire request process and

Sandy
Stromme
Sandy's connection with IRIS goes back to her UW days working
on the SPYDER® system. Now she mainly works on supporting
services for incoming, online, and outgoing BUD data streams.
|
Russ
Welti
Russ has a split personality. Half of the time he works for
the DMS taking some of the load off of the others - in particular
supporting WILBER and assorted other tasks - while the other
Russ works for E&O developing and supporting the two Seismic
Monitor products: the web page and the museum display. One
of the most recent additions to the DMC staff, he has begun
reading the SEED manual for sheer pleasure and often quotes
some of its more lively and entertaining passages to friends
and family. |

Bruce
Weertman
Bruce is the lead developer on the DMS Quality Assurance
Initiative - otherwise know as QUACK (Quality Analysis Control
Kit). When completed, QUACK will monitor the quality of the
real time seismic data flowing into the BUD. Bruce also is
responsible for the BUD Archive Transfer System - BATS. BATS
moves the real time data out of the BUD and into the main
archive. |
