Boss to speak at Gray tribute

Professor Emeritius Pauline Boss (Family Social Science) is speaking at UC Berkeley’s Tribute to Jim Gray on May 31. Jim Gray, a Silicon Valley legend, is known for his groundbreaking work as a programmer, database expert, and Microsoft engineer. Gray’s work helped make possible such technologies as the cash machine, e-commerce, online ticketing, and deep databases like Google. Jim Gray disappeared without a trace on a sailing trip to the Farallon Islands on January 28, 2007.

Speakers at the tribute will address the attributes and accomplishments that contributed to Gray’s world renowned reputation.
