Developed scenarios for health reforms such as covering the uninsured, consumer-driven health plans, and others. Developed a research agenda on Living Ontologies to support business process interoperability. Designed and led development of a tool that integrates cross-organizational models of business processes. The unified models are compared to yield visualizations of similarities and differences and metrics for process alignment. Currently extending the comparison technology to support processes that require building consensus. Designed and led development of groundbreaking agent-based research for homeland security. The Ant CAF system applies swarm intelligence operating on WordNet subsumption structures to search massive document databases for evidence that corroborates analyst hypotheses. Designed and leading development of an agent-based optimizing simulation to support personnel planning in the U. S. Navy. Designed and led development of a user interface visualizing risk in the General Motors supply chain. Helping to transform Altarum to lead transformation of the health system through Systems Research for Better Health.Information Technology Scientist, DynCorp-NSP, Alexandria, VA, 2001 2002 Designed user interfaces for innovative systems to support personnel planning in the U. S. Navy, including battlegroup and personnel readiness visualizations, and an organizational memory system that would help managers learn from their collective experience. Designed and implemented an n-dimensional, model-independent data repository. The repository uses an artificial intelligence planning algorithm to automatically transform available data to satisfy user requests. The system includes a network layer that provides XML access to the repository, and client-side applets for identifying and editing n-dimensional data. Designed and implemented a multi-tier web system that visualizes force health measures with graphical displays. These measures use statistical tests to evaluate the state of the Navy, and can be used to proactively identify personnel management problems.Senior Architect, Commerce One Global Services, Ann Arbor MI, 1999 2001 Designed and led development of web based eCommerce transactions for Memec Ltd., a global electronics distributor. Led design of a B2B gateway using the Extricity Business Integration Server for RosettaNet, EDI, and other standards. Led design and development of batch and single-transaction processing using XML for UCCnet, a global trading community for the groceries industry. Designed a distributed workflow application that coordinates the efforts of physicians and insurance experts in the University of Michigan Hospital.Senior Systems Analyst, B-K Dynamics-DynCorp, San Diego CA, 1989 - 1994 Designed, led development of innovative systems, for example: DAWIA was a data-driven Extract, Transform and Load tool before this type of system was officially invented Resum of Peter Chaim Weinstein Page 3 SKIPPER predicts recruitment needs for the U.S. Navy; set the standard for GUIs in the client organization Supervised teams of up to twelve systems analysts B-K Dynamics Recognition of Exceptional Service and Superior PerformanceProgrammer, Baltimore Medical Systems Inc., Columbia MD, 1986 Developed a new version of a multi-doctor office systemExecutive Vice President, Eastern Software Distributors, Inc., Baltimore MD,1983 - 1986 Conducted a corporate acquisition search leading to purchase by Concord Fabrics Inc., NY Responsible for contractor development of a $400K information processing system, including order processing, inventory control, accounts receivable, and accounts payablePATENTS PENDINGSwarming Unification of Business Process Models.
