Professional Activities

Project work

·       EU IST Ambient Networks (project start January 2004): Proposal writing, contract negotiation, and planned to be work package leader of WP 8 (project leader for a part of the consortiums work items), responsible within NEC for the project).

·       Intelligent Modular Firewall Functions (April 2002 - March 2003): Project leader for the development of intelligent IP firewall functions, to be included in NEC commercial IP router platforms.

·       GMPLS management system (March 2002 - August 2003): Project Manager for the development of a GMPLS management system based on HP OpenView, to be used for a new NEC line of products in the area of MPLS and GMPLS switches.

·       Standardization in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Next Steps in Signaling (NSIS) Working Group (November 2001 - now): I was actively involved from the start of the working group. I got appointed editor of the NSIS Requirements Document.

·       Standardization Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) (April 2001 - now): Editor of the MPLS information model for release V2.7 of the DMTF network information model.

·       EU IST NGN-LAB (January 2001 - now): A project financed by the fifth European research framework programme. I was working on the proposal, contract preparation, and I am now responsible (project manager within NEC) for the project starting Jan. 2001 (project start). The project provides IPv6 and QoS facilities, which can be used for testing, demonstration etc.

·       QoS Control Architecture (February 2000 - March 2002): Technical leader in planning, design, and prototype implementation for a QoS Management System, including a commercial version and a more advanced research prototype.

·       EURESCOM P1006 DISCMAN (May 00 - March 01): The project addressed control and management issues in DiffServ/MPLS networks. I attended some meetings and did minor paper work.

·       Linux-DiffServ implementation in collaboration with the University of Bern in Switzerland (April 00 - Dec 2002): I was in charge of the project from NEC side. The tasks include supervision of the project and the definition of the 3rd year work plan.

·       Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Policy Framework WG: we proposed a MPLS policy information model, where I developed the model and wrote and presented the draft. I did also a prototype implementation which lead to IM conference paper. Furthermore, I am one of the co-authors of the IETF Policy Core Information Model Extension.

·       The project JVTOS (Joint Viewing and Tele-Operation Service) in the third European framework programme was my first project, where I did my diploma thesis and finished the project at the time I started to work for the Computer Engineering and Networks Lab at ETH Zurich.The project developed a full-fledged collaborative work application, which enables two or more persons to commonly use any application software at the same time on different workstations (Suns, Macs and PCs) supported by audio/video conferencing.

·       Further, I contribute to a project named BETEUS (Broadband Exchange for Trans-European Usage), which takes further the initial steps taken in the area of tele-teaching applications towards a full-fledged CSCW application. In the project, five european sites are connected over the European ATM pilot network, to run distributed applications as tele-teaching, tele-learning, and archiving and retrieval of multimedia documents.

·       Additionally, I was engaged in the design and experiment phase of the Telepoly project. A tele-teaching experiment between the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology in Zurich (ETHZ), Lausanne (EPFL), and the University of Basel. It has been established to gain practical and didactic experiences. The project builds the system with CellStacks (Audio/Video codecs) and ATM connections for data transport.

·       My Ph.D. project was about service management in an active network based telecom environment. It concentrates on management of Active Networks, such as active service provisioning, active service management (service installation, update, supervision, and removal), and the interaction between customers and providers in a telecom environment, which is based on active networking technology.

·       Further, I have been working on two proposals for the 5th European Framework Programme, namely FAIN, "Future Active IP Networks", and FANA, "Future Applications for Active Networks".

Teaching Experience

·       During the whole stay at TIK I was involved in preparation of exercises and exams, mainly of the lectures named "Introduction to Computer Networks", "Distributed Systems", "Inter-Process-Communication in UNIX", and "Protocols for Multimedia Communication". I often took over the lecture on "Protocols for Multimedia Communication" when the lecturer was not able to hold it.

·       I did some course work for industrial people, mainly about the UNIX Operating System and its Inter-Process Communication Facilities.

·       I presented tutorials on Active Networks (ECUMN'01) and on QoS Management in the Internet (HPSR'01, NOMS'02, IPOM'02, IM'03).
