performance within the realm of technology and education.
Dr. Gerald Wagner
Distinguished Research Fellow and Gallup Senior Scientist
University of Nebraska at Omaha,
College of Information Science and Technology,
The Peter Kiewit Institute
Dr. Gerald Wagner is widely recognized as
a visionary in data visualization and decision support technology and a
prominent and successful software technology entrepreneur.
Wagner founded Execucom Systems, Corp. in 1978 and served as its CEO until
the company was acquired by GTE in 1984. He also founded
Collaborative Technologies Corp., producing one of the first commercial
groupware collaboration software applications for real-time electronic
meetings. In 2005, along with students at UNO, he started GRW
Studios, Inc., which designs and develops software that combines an
English-like simulation with state-of-the-art visualization technology.
Before coming to UNO, Dr. Wagner was a tenured professor of Operations
Research and Industrial Engineering at the University of Texas, where he
co-founded the field known as Decision Support Systems.
He founded the International Academy for Advanced Decision Support and
chaired the summit meeting for determining Decision Support System
research themes for three consecutive years.
Dr. Wagner started the Nebraska Applied Multimedia Lab, the Nebraska
Applied Multimedia Institute, the Interactive Design and Development
Lab, and the PKI/Gallup Design Lab. He organized a series of
Visual Storytelling and Data Visualization seminars in 2005 and 2006
and partnered with the Gallup organization and AIM Institute to bring
these seminars to the business community as well as his students.
He is the director of One Innovation Place, which trains, mentors, and
places student interns interested in advanced software development
positions within the business community.
Through his innovative leadership and entrepreneurship, Dr. Wagner has
initiated high-quality collaborative education opportunities for
students in the College of Information Science and Technology at the
Peter Kiewit Institute as well as for Nebraska business and community
leaders.
