MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. --April 7, 1992-- One of the world's leading
experts in programming environments, Dr. L. Peter Deutsch, 45, has
joined Sun Microsystems Laboratories, Inc. (SMLI), the advanced
research subsidiary of Sun Microsystems, Inc.  Besides being widely
known for his contributions to software development technology, Dr.
Deutsch has long conducted pioneering work in the field of
object-oriented programming, which has since emerged as a
next-generation technique that virtually all leading computer companies
plan to employ.  He has been named a Sun Fellow   one of just three
within all of Sun Microsystems   and is helping plan future software
development technologies and software architectures at SMLI.

Most recently, Dr. Deutsch spent five years as chief scientist at
ParcPlace Systems, where he guided development of the company's
Smalltalk products.  He also spent more than 14 years with Xerox at the
company's renowned Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). Early in his
tenure there, he was one of a select group   many members of which have
since become famous   who designed and implemented various aspects of
the Alto.  This legendary system served as a model for many of today's
advanced computer features.

Throughout his time at PARC, Dr. Deutsch was involved with many
important projects pushing the state of the art in programming
environments and languages. In the area of object-oriented programming,
his work helped pave the way for practical implementation of this
technique.

From 1969 to 1971, he was a principal in Berkeley Computer Corp.,
helping design the hardware architecture as well as the software
environment for a new large-scale time-sharing system.  Dr. Deutsch has
worked as a consultant to various organizations, such as the Rockford
Research Institute, Stanford Research Institute and the U.S. Navy,
where he helped the Pacific Fleet move from batch to interactive
development on shipboard software.  Even as an undergraduate, he was
performing important work as a key member of Project Genie at the
University of California at Berkeley.  This mid-1960s research project
developed the first commercially available, general-purpose
time-sharing system.

He has taught classes at U.C. Berkeley as well as at Stanford
University and was a visiting scientist at the Artificial Intelligence
Laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Dr. Deutsch was awarded a B.A. in mathematics and a Ph.D. in computer
science at U.C. Berkeley.  He is the author of numerous papers and
articles and has lectured extensively worldwide.

Sun Microsystems Laboratories, Inc., performs advanced development that
is then utilized by the subsidiaries of Sun Microsystems, Inc., the
world's leading supplier of workstations and servers.  Sun
Microsystems, founded in 1982 and headquartered in Mountain View,
Calif., is a multi-billion dollar corporation doing business
worldwide.
