Thought Leader
Paul Levine
Mr. Levine has held leadership roles in many standards bodies and information/communications industry forums with the objective of converging standardization initiatives to common approaches for B2B interoperability. Through these efforts a UML-based business collaboration and information modeling methodology has emerged as a common thread among ISO/IEC JTC 1, ITU-T, ANSI T1M1, the TeleManagement Forum and UN/CEFACT. This business collaboration modeling approach is seen as the underlying structure required for standardized information exchange. As an information/communications industry leader, Telcordia has supported Mr. Levine in influential positions he currently holds in the above named standards bodies and industry forums.
Mr. Levine has enjoyed a 34-year career with Bell Laboratories, Bellcore, and Telcordia Technologies, in various positions dealing with design and administration of shared information. Most recently he held the position of Standards Development Director, COMMON LANGUAGE® Products, the Telcordia business unit that provides a data administration service that is essential for operability within and interoperability among telecommunications service providers. Mr. Levine holds BME and MSME degrees from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY.
