Worked on GloServ, an ontology-based context-aware service discovery system which operates in a globally distributed network. Developed an extension that exploits the functionality offered by the description logic ontology used by GloServ to allow combined queries comprised of multiple, independent service classes. Designed and implemented a prototype front-end in PHP that allows querying the GloServ back-end (written in Java).

Implemented and evaluated the General Internet Signaling Transport (GIST) protocol developed in the NSIS working group at the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) using C++ and the Linux operating system. Based on the gained experience, we continually contributed to the standardization process of GIST and related protocols. The implementation of the NSIS protocols is now an Open Source project under my technical leadership.
