This work ranged from prototyping new concepts and protocols, proposing new protocols, bringing protocol extensions to standardization and company internal strategy work. My main focus was on IP Multicast, IPv6 and MPLS. Development of the first MPLS IP multicast prototype in the world. This task consisted of design, coding, testing and integration, using C/C++ on FreeBSD with reuse of Open Source code (PIM-SM, multicast applications) and CVS as version management system. Work-package leader in the European Project Ithaci (studying enhancements to MPLS). Main author of RFC3353: "IP Multicast in MPLS networks". Development of an Internet prototype with scalable enhancements. It was a proof-of-concept that showed that many "new" Internet features (VPN, multicast, QoS, etc.) could be implemented in a connectionless fashion. Inventor of "Explict Multicast (Xcast)" (http://xmeet.xcast.jp). Main editor of the basic Xcast specification (draft-ooms-xcast-basic-spec-xx.txt). Writing company internal strategy papers on network evolution (MPLS and IPv6). Editor of the draft on an important IPv6 transition mechanism (draft-ooms-v6ops-bgp-tunnel-03.txt). Author and/or editor of multiple other drafts in the area of multicast, MPLS, VPNs, IPv6, ... Development of a prototype for end-to-end QoS in the Internet. The basic concept was that the "QoS controller" saw a chain of abstract networks (the details of the underlying networks were hidden). It was an application of concepts like SLA, Traffic Engineering, DiffServ, Intserv. This task consisted of design, coding, testing and integration; typically done in C/C++ on Linux with reuse of Open Source code (XML parser, SOAP interfaces). Rational Rose was used for design, CVS for version management. Several patents, international publications and presentations. IETF RFC5058 November 2007 - R. Boivie, N. Feldman, Y. Imai, W.

The project uses a PC environment (3.11 and NT) for host development, programming is done in C++ and C (Borland C++ IDE), Intersolv PVCS as configuration management system, MS Office applications for documentation. Development of a GUI in C++ (Borland OWL) for 16-bit Windows. Pre-analysis for a major new release: introduction of new target OS (VxWorks), new GUI (Java). Pushed the introduction of an intranet. 1/1996 11/1996 Newbridge (Canada) Software Developer (permanent) Software development on the Newbridge 36170 ATM switch. I did this job in the framework of the Siemens-Newbridge alliance. Development on Sun Workstations and MACs (for documentation), programming in C and C++, Tornado (Gnu compiler, vxSim) on host, vxWorks on target system, configuration management with Clearcase. I was involved in the software architecture of the new T1/E1 ATM card with IMA (Invers Multiplexer ATM) functionality. Design, implementation and testing of the software for the physical, ATM and IMA layers on the line card. Integration tests in the lab and writing test cases in TCL. 5/1995 1/1996 Siemens Atea Software Developer (permanent) Software development of an ATM access switch (AMS). The project used a PC environment (initially 3.11, later NT) for host development, programming was done in C++ and C (Borland C++ IDE), Intersolv PVCS as configuration management system, MS Office applications for documentation. The target system had the RTOS pSOS+ running on an Intel processor (Metaware compiler and Opusmake as make-tool on the target system). Design, implementation and testing of a distributed file system (something like NFS) over TCP/IP (test version) and AAL5 (final version). This required thorough knowledge of the pNA, pHILE and pREPC libraries delivered with pSOS. Testing of the C++ concepts (FSM's, container classes, interworking ports (proprietary ORB)). 1/1994 4/1995 Alcatel Software Developer (permanent) ATM software department Software Development for a large ATM switch. Programming was done on Sun Workstations in C. Tools being used were SDL, Clearcase and Interleaf. I worked in the TRM (Telecom Resource Management) group of the Alcatel A1000 core switch and was responsible for the Connection Control Module. Some SQL to an Oracle database was involved. I studied how to generate automatically test cases out of FSM's and presented a prototype. 2/1993 12/1993 Alcatel PABX hardware design departement Hardware and firmware Developer (permanent) I designed the hardware, wrote the firmware and did the integration test of three small optional boards for a medium sized PABX (DHS-1). Development was done on Sun Workstations using Valid as a hardware design and Interleaf as a documentation tool. Analog remote access: board that allowed remote configuration and maintenance of the PABX via a modem connection. Board contained 8051 processor and V.32bis modem chip. ISDN remote access: board that allowed remote configuration and maintenance of the PABX via a Basic Rate N-ISDN line. Board contained 8051 processor. Data backup: board that provided persistency of the configured data. Board contained 8051 processor and Flash memory. 12/1989 4/1991 University Hospital Gasthuisberg (Leuven) Network admin and image processing researcher (civil service) Research in the IRURI group (Interdisciplinary Research Unit for Radiological Imaging: Prof. Suetens and Prof. Marchal), which was a small group of engineers working on image processing within the University Hospital of Leuven. Software development was done in Pascal on VAX and Silicon Graphics workstations. Study of the CT spiral scan: this project studied how a 3D image was 'blurred' in a CT scanner when the patient table makes a linear movement. Software to enhance the quality of the 3D image (invers filtering) was developed. This work won a prize at the "Conference of computed body tomography" in Washington and an article to "Physical Radiology" was submitted. Project that tried to estimate the degree of osteoporosis using radiological images. Contributed to the conversion to C of the proprietary image processing library written in Pascal. Installation and support of a network of 25 Macintoshes at the Radiology department in the University Hospital of Leuven (+ training of the users). This was an administrative network with the Filemaker database as main application. Society of Computed Body Tomography April 1991 - D. Ooms, G. Marchal, J. Nuyts, P. Suetens, H.
