Dr. Sandor Boyson Chief of Information Strategy and Director of the R. H. Smith School's Supply Chain Management Center
"ESSeP demonstrates how to utilize an Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) framework to both promote process automation across existing Air Force systems and to provide a technical foundation for transition to an ERP." - Mr. John Gilligan, Air Force CIO	"In the AI area we recommend researchers to visit along with XEROX PARC, ASD in San Francisco.
