My work

My work involves devising and evaluating nature-inspired solutions to a variety of problems encountered in distibuted computing. These include routing, adaptive network security, robustness assessment and (the theory of) decentralised resource management. Since I joined the company, my work has generated a total of 7 patent applications. As of the start of 2006 I am a work package leader in the EU collaborative integrated project CASCADAS CascadasProject.
