Nelson Mattos, Ph. D., is one of an elite group of practicing expert technical executives -- "IBM Distinguished Engineers" -- recognized not only for their exceptional engineering and programming in research, development, sales and service, but also for their anticipated significant future contributions to IBM's growth. In his current role, director of information integration at the IBM Silicon Valley Laboratory in San Jose, California, Dr. Mattos is responsible for establishing IBM's leadership position in the emerging information integration market. He collaborates with standards bodies and IBM customers, Business Partners and development teams to help businesses integrate digital information assets and leverage the value of those assets across the enterprise. Capitalizing on his strong research background, Dr. Mattos is responsible for the strategy, marketing, and development for such products as DB2 Information Integrator, DiscoveryLink, Replication, and Relational Connect.

He also managed several groups at the IBM Database Technology Institute. Additionally, Dr. Mattos served not only as chief architect for DB2's object-relational technologies, but also as leader of the development of various DB2 Extender products that exploit the object-relational features of DB2. And he was until recently responsible for IBM's participation at different standards forums, including the ANSI SQL committee, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Committee for database, W3C, OMG, and SQLJ. In this capacity, he contributed extensively to the design of SQL99 through more than 300 accepted proposals.
