Hurley, Institute for Defense Analyses William J. Hurley is assistant director of the System Evaluation Division at the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA). Before going to IDA in 1985, he was with the Center for Naval Analyses. Dr. Hurley has directed over 30 studies sponsored principally by the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Navy. His work has emphasized force planning, analytic methods, and advanced technologies. Since 2000, he has focused on urban conflict and irregular warfare. In addition to his research responsibilities, from 1991 to 1998 Dr. Hurley was the associate director and then director of the Defense Science Study Group, a program of education and study that introduces young professors of science and engineering to national-security systems, organizations, and current issues. Dr. Hurley's academic background is in mathematical physics. He received a BS in physics from Boston College and a PhD in physics from the University of Rochester (1971) and has held research positions at Syracuse University and the University of Texas. Anil K. Jain, Michigan State University Anil K. Jain is a University Distinguished Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Michigan State University. He received his BTech from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur and his MS and PhD from Ohio State University. His research interests include statistical-pattern recognition, computer vision, and biometric authentication. He received awards for best papers in 1987 and 1991 from the Pattern Recognition Society. He also received the 1996 IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks Best Paper Award. He is a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the Association for Computing Machinery, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the International Association for Pattern Recognition. He has received Fulbright, Guggenheim, and Humboldt awards. Holder of six patents in fingerprint-matching, he is the author of a number of books, including Handbook of Face 61 

Recognition and Handbook of Fingerprint Recognition. He is a member of the National Research Council study team on Whither Biometrics?. Edward H. Kaplan, Yale School of Management Edward H. Kaplan (NAE, IOM) is the William N. and Marie A. Beach Professor of Management Sciences, professor of public health, and professor of engineering at Yale University. He received his bachelor's degree from McGill University and proceeded to graduate study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he completed three master’s degrees—in operations research, city planning, and statistics—and a doctorate in urban studies. He has recently developed novel methods for quantitatively evaluating the tactical prevention of suicide bombings, including the operational effectiveness of suicide-bomber–detector schemes.
