Dennis Nadler Returns to Asynchrony Solutions


Asynchrony Solutions Inc., a consultancy focused on systems integration, application development and collaboration, has announced that Dennis Nadler has joined the company in the newly created position of vice president of Military Technical Solutions.

Dennis will support the rapid growth of Asynchrony's military solutions practice, which is focused on Net Centric Enterprise Services (NCES) and other key Department of Defense (DoD) enterprise architecture and systems integration initiatives. Dennis helped establish Asynchrony's government solutions practice in 2000 before leaving in 2001 for a career opportunity with Northrop Grumman, the nation's second largest prime government contractor. His return to Asynchrony Solutions underscores the critical contributions that smaller organizations are providing to significant DoD initiatives. He is considered a leading national expert in military service oriented architecture (SOA).

"Although large contractors provide a necessary and vital role, mission-critical architecture and engineering can best be delivered by agile organizations like Asynchrony," said Nadler. "Military customers and large contractors turn to us to deliver solutions for high-end technical challenges in the same way that Special Forces are called upon to handle high-risk military challenges."

Dennis' 20 year career provides him with a rare combination of proven technical expertise and domain knowledge across a wide spectrum of Department of Defense commands and initiatives.

As the USTRANSCOM Enterprise Architect and C2 Division Manager at Scott Air Force Base, Dennis was previously responsible for the analysis, architectural design and oversight of over 120 Defense Transportation Systems and the day-to-day operations of DISA USTRANSCOM support of the DoD's Global Command and Control System (GCCS) operations.

As the DoD Global Combat Support System (GCSS) chief engineer and program manager, he was responsible for complete execution of the system: budget control; human resources; requirements management; system design, coding, and implementation; and joint staff support for the global Combatant Commander level GCSS system. In addition, he was responsible for setting architectural guidelines and Common Operating Environment (COE) directives for DoD combat support systems. To accomplish this mission, Mr. Nadler managed an office of 65 government employees and more than 300 contractors.

As the Commander/Executive Engineering Manager for one of DISA's Software Engineering Centers, Dennis also managed the Center's budget and staff. He directed and led the organization's engineering staff in its mission to insert and integrate emerging technologies into Intelligence and Command and Control (C2) capabilities to increase their interoperability and effectiveness on our nation's warfighting missions.

"Many companies hire ex-military people for their Rolodex," said Bob Elfanbaum, Asynchrony CEO. "We didn't hire Dennis for who he knows, we hired him for what he knows. In today's rapidly changing and increasingly complex environment, only the most experienced and technically proficient leaders like Dennis can be counted upon to deliver the proper solutions."

Dennis is a nationally recognized expert in DoD architecture and integration. He has been a featured speaker at industry events and is often consulted by journalists covering the industry for leading publications.

Mr. Nadler is a native of Illinois. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from the Southern Illinois University of Illinois and a Master's degree in Computer and Resource Management from Webster University of Missouri.

CometCloud: Using a Federated HPC-Cloud to Understand Fluid Flow in Microchannels

The ever-growing complexity of scientific and engineering problems continues to pose new computational challenges. Thus, we present a novel federation model that enables end-users with the ability to aggregate heterogeneous resource scale problems. The feasibility of this federation model has been proven, in the context of the UberCloud HPC Experiment, by gathering the most comprehensive information to date on the effects of pillars on microfluid channel flow.
