Professional Activities
since April 1, 2001
Senior Research Staff Member, C&C Research Laboratories,
NEC Europe Ltd., Heidelberg, Germany
Feb1, 2000 - Mar 31, 2001
Research Staff Member, C&C Research Laboratories, NEC
Europe Ltd., Heidelberg, Germany (February - August in the
Laboratory at Berlin)
Oct. 1, 1994 - Feb. 1, 2000 Research Assistant at ETH Zurich, Department of Electrical
Engineering, Computer Engineering and Networks Laboratory
Project work
QoS Control Architecture (Feb. 00 - now): technical leader in the 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 - now): I was in charge of the project from NEC. The tasks includes supervision of
the project and the definition of the 3rd year work plan.
IST NGN-LAB: 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).
IETF standardization work: In the area of the 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 paper. Furthermore, I am one of
the co-authors of a IETF Policy Core Information Model Extension and a one-to-any probabilistic assured rate PDB.
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, telelearning, 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 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 is 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.
Additionally, I presented two tutorials on Active Networks and on QoS Management in the
Internet.
