He is a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). His article, "The Next Generation Network and Why We'll Never See It," published in the October 2006 Issue of the IEEE Communications Magazine, was one of the top 10 downloads among the 10 Communications Society (ComSoc) publications in the months after publication. He received the 2007 IEEE ComSoc CQR Chairman's Award for sustained contributions in the field of network reliability, technology introduction, and leadership in the research and development of telecommunications systems.

Keith has a B.S.E.E. from the University of Missouri and an M.S. in Systems Management from the University of Southern California. Keith is a retired Commander in the United States Naval Reserve.

Dave Belanger, AT&T Labs Chief Scientist and Vice President, Information & Software Systems Research

Dave Belanger is the AT&T Labs Chief Scientist, and the Vice President of Information & Software Systems Research. As Chief Scientist, he is responsible for identifying pre-product technology important to the future of AT&T, evaluating technology, building alignment within AT&T on technology directions, and serving as AT&T liaison to external technical communities, specifically universities, government agencies, and industry laboratories.

The Information & Software Systems Research Lab conducts research in largescale and real-time information mining related to operations of a communications service business; interactive, information visualization; scalable, reliable software systems; and new, information-based, communications services. It is also responsible for delivery and operations of very large-scale (e.g., >300TB), near real-time service management capabilities to AT&T and its customers.
