Peter Furniss, Chief Scientist and co-founder, Choreology

Peter Furniss is a co-founder of Choreology and now the company's Chief Scientist. He is responsible, along with Alastair Green and others, for Choreology's involvement in several standards groups. He is editor of the OASIS Business Transaction Protocol (BTP) 1.0 Committee Specification and an active participant in, as well as issues list editor of, the OASIS WS-BPEL Technical Committee.

After a Ph.D from Imperial College, London University in simulation models of insect populations and a post-doctoral fellowship at University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, he began his 20-year long career in professional computing. For ten years he was a staff member of the University of London Computer Centre, involved in and later leading the implementation of some of the "Coloured Book" open networking standards. From then and continuing as an independent consultant from 1992, Peter played a major role in the specification of the OSI standards, editing several, including the final edition of OSI Transaction Processing (ISO/IEC 10026).

As an independent consultant, his activities included implementation and report writing as well as the specification of several standards. He joined Arjuna Solutions (later Bluestone Arjuna) in 2000, where he worked as a Product Architect on the failure recovery aspects of their Java transaction service before co-founding Choreology. Throughout his career, Peter has maintained a balance between standards development and practical implementation, despite having been involved at some time with a large number of standards bodies.
