J. David Naumann is an emeritus professor in the Information and Decision Sciences Department. His research interests focus on the interactions of telecommunications developments, especially the Internet, with the architecture and design of information systems of all kinds. Technology drivers have enabled new applications such as e-commerce, and they continue to provide opportunities for significant advances through both new applications and changes in existing ones. The challenge is to sort out the significant and high-potential implications from the merely interesting. His teaching includes application development and programming, but focuses on telecommunications, Internet technologies, and networking. He is currently responsible for both MBA and undergraduate lab facilities reserved for MIS students.
