Some people have asked to see my PhD, so here it is.

RESERVOIR

I am working on the RESERVOIR cloud computing project.

RESERVOIR is a European Union FP7 funded project that will enable massive scale deployment and management of complex IT services across different administrative domains, IT platforms and geographies by providing a foundation for a service-based online economy, using virtualization technologies, transparently provisioned and managed on an on-demand basis at competitive costs with high quality of service.

UniverSELF

The UniverSelf project is a recently started project funded by the European Commission under the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) 7th Research Framework Programme (FP7). The goal of UniverSelf is to consolidate autonomic methods for the future Internet for business-driven, service and network management into a novel Unified Management Framework (UMF) evolving through cognition. This UMF will remove the roadblocks of the original Internet design and of its later patchwork growth; it will seamlessly unite the heterogeneous control and management planes towards a true end-to-end scope by enabling self-organization of the former and empowering the latter with cognition. This will advance the routine management tasks by human administrators to the level of governance of the entire network and service ecosystem.

AutoI

I am working on the AutoI virtual networks project.

AutoI will implement the creation of a communication resource overlay with autonomic characteristics for the purposes of fast and guaranteed service delivery. Autonomic Internet (AutoI) aims to be a sustainable solution. It will design and develop a self-managing virtual resource overlay that can span across heterogeneous networks, support service mobility, quality of service and reliability. The overlay will self-manage based on the business-driven service goals changes (service context) and resource environment changes (resource context).

Future Internet Assembly

I am working on the Future Internet Assembly. See the home page.

Network Media

I am interested in Networked Media, media delivery, and media formats media.

Many people view media, both audio and video, as a single stream which has to be delivered in a single stream. Although this approach does actually deliver the media content, it is not the best. As many people have found, the result on the screen can be jerky, can have huge delays, or does not fit with how they actually wish to view or listen to the content.
