Profile of Anil Kumble

(born 17 October 1970 in Bangalore, Karnataka) is an Indian cricketer. He is a right-arm leg spin (legbreak googly) bowler and a right-hand batsman. He is currently the leading wicket-taker for India in both Test and One Day International matches. At present he is the third highest wicket-taker in Test cricket and one of only three bowlers to have taken more than 600 Test wickets. Kumble has had success bowling with other spinners, notably Venkatapathy Raju and Rajesh Chauhan in the 1990s and Harbhajan Singh since 2000.

Kumble was appointed the captain of the Indian Test cricket team on 8 November 2007. His first assignment as captain was the three-test home series against Pakistan that India won 1-0. Then he led the Indian Test team on its tour to Australia for the 2007-08 four-test series of The Border-Gavaskar Trophy that India lost 1-2. Kumble succeeds his state team mate Rahul Dravid, who resigned as the captain in September 2007. Since his debut in international cricket in April 25, 1990, he has taken over 600 Test wickets and 330 ODI wickets. Although often criticized as not a big turner of the ball, Kumble is the second highest wicket taker among leg spinners in Test cricket behind leg spinner Shane Warne of Australia and the third of all bowlers after Warne and off spinner Muttiah Muralitharan of Sri Lanka and has claimed over 600 Test wickets. He is one of only two bowlers in the history of cricket to have taken all 10 wickets in a test innings, the other being Jim Laker of England. Kumble is currently ranked the 5th best bowler in Tests by the International Cricket Council. He was awarded the Padma Shri, one of India's highest civilian honours, by the Government of India in 2005.

Guruduth BanavarGuruduth Banavar
Director, IBM India Research Laboratory,
and Chief Technologist,
IBM India / South Asia

I am Guruduth (Guru) Banavar, and I'm a researcher and leader at IBM Research. I have played many roles at IBM Research -- technology researcher, senior line manager and executive, worldwide research strategist, patent portfolio evaluator, program manager of research investment, and relationship manager with senior executives. My broad technical interests and contributions have been in Service Science, Pervasive Computing, Distributed Systems, and Programming Models.

I am currently the Director of IBM's India Research Laboratory (IRL), one of the eight world-wide research labs of IBM Research. IRL is arguably the best research lab in India, and has a broad and deep portfolio of research projects. The major focus areas of IRL are telecommunications and service delivery, bringing to bear our world-class technical leadership in information and knowledge management, systems management, distributed and high performance computing, software engineering, analytics and optimization, and the emerging area of service science.

I also play the role of Chief Technologist of IBM India / South Asia, a key geography of IBM's global business. In this role, I'm helping set the technology leadership agenda for this region, by defining a technology strategy and helping develop the technical talent across the business units in IBM India / South Asia.

I was most recently the Associate Director of IRL, Bengaluru. In August 2005, I established the Bangalore arm of the IRL (initially known as the Services Innovation and Research Center), and have been leading this group to develop innovative technologies and methods for IBM's Service Delivery operations. We have developed innovations in process optimization, resiliency assessment, knowledge management, and solution development from reusable assets, and we have deployed them to improve and differentiate IBM's Global Services businesses. I have also been actively involved in developing the general principles of service delivery, within the new field of Service Science.

Previous to that, I was the Senior Manager of the Pervasive Infrastructure Department at IBM’s Thomas J. Watson Research Center in New York, where I led research groups working on many aspects of pervasive computing, including mobility technologies, context-based and notification systems, wearable and embedded systems, programming models and tools for pervasive systems, and their applications to domains such as healthcare and finance. In this role, I was responsible for defining the worldwide IBM Research strategy in Pervasive Computing and managing a portfolio of research activities and intellectual property in this area.

I joined IBM's TJ Watson Research Center in late 1995 after receiving a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Utah. As a Research Staff Member, I helped create technologies in areas like synchronous collaboration, content-based publish-subscribe systems, middleware for content delivery, and platform-independent application development.

I'm professionally active in the Computer Science, and more recently, in the Service Science communities. I have published more than 40 research papers, (co-)invented more than 25 patents, chaired major technical conferences and workshops in the field, served on 3 PhD committees, and sit on the advisory boards of international research and educational organizations.
