BBN Technologies
10 Moulton St
Cambridge, MA 02139I have worked at BBN Technologies since 1983 on a variety of projects concerned with performance analysis of distributed systems and computer networks. My research interest include QoS-adaptive systems at the network layer, DTN (Disruption Tolerant Networking); distributed object layer, QuO (Quality Objects); and distributed agent layer, Cougaar .
My past projects include: principle investigator for the bandwidth management part of QuO; principle investigator for knowledge-based tools for troubleshooting performance problems in computer networks, including the BBN SpyGlass protocol analysis environment and the ANT network path-modeling environment; and performance analyst for the ARPANET where I developed techniques that stabilized load sensitive routing.
