Professional Activities

Research-Areas

• Wireless Ad-Hoc and Mesh Networks
• Quality of Service in computer networks
• Multimedia Adaptation and Communication
• Wireless Video Communication

Management Committee Memberships and Conference Organization

• Management Committee Member of COST Action 290 - Wi-QoST - Traffic and QoS Management in Wireless
  The main objective of the Action is to increase the knowledge on future advanced Multiservice Wireless Networks (MWNs) and specifically on traffic nature and behaviour and its impact on network architecture, performance and planning.
• Member of MINEMA - Middleware for Network Eccentric and Mobile Applications.
  MiNEMA is an European Science Foundation (ESF) Scientific Programme aiming to bring together European groups from different communities working on middleware for mobile environment. The programme intends to foster the definition and implementation of widely recognized middleware abstractions for new and emerging mobile applications
• Member of ERCIM eMobility WG.
  The ERCIM eMobility working group aims to develop strategic basic research agenda and project proposals in the area of eMobility. To complement the activities of the eMobility European Technology Platform (ETP), the working group focusses on more (theoretical) basic research issues. The goal are long-term research projects with a more academic background, without having any commercial constrains. A strong focus lies on research addressing social, environmental problems and disruptive technologies.

Ongoing External Research Projects

• DAIDALOS - Designing Advanced network Interfaces for the Delivery and Administration of Location independent, Optimised personal Services
  Funded by European Commision FP6. WP3 co-chair. Master Project Thesis available!!!
• PerMoCom: Pervasive Networks for Seamless Mobile Communication
  PerMoCom aims to develop a truly pervasive and mobile IPv6 network infrastructure across heterogeneous wireless and ad-hoc networks with the novel use of public transport system as backbone infrastructure. It also addresses Quality-of-Service and mobility management for mobile ad-hoc sub-networks attached to fixed IP network and develops novel adaptive applications using location-awareness. It promotes the use of public transport systems such as Buses, Taxis and Trains for which these vehicles have low mobility, regularity and route predictability which can role as mobile routers to provide a mobile backbone for inter-vehicular communications.
