I came to Cornell from Stanford, where I spent a couple of years as a PhD
student. My work and research at Stanford was about streaming live media,
like audio and video, over the internet. As part of this I modified
IGMP one of the multicast protocols, developed protocols for multicasting
/unicasting layered video, and developed the Virtual Classroom system. The
initial prototype was deployed in the 1995 Spring and Fall quarters and
used as an alternative to the Stanford Instructional Television Network
SITN program which
uses microwave links. Students at remote sites used the
software to asynchronously access class lectures and notes, over the internet.
We also stumbled upon the fact that other media, like text, slides, etc,
linked with portions of video enhanced its usefulness greatly. This lead
to the formation of a company Vxtreme Inc.,
Palo Alto, CA. Vxtreme is a new Silicon Valley start up develop client sever
applications for streaming multimedia delivery over the internet.

Semantics of my Name
Rosen not being an Indian name, this question was often asked ? People gave
the name their own interpretations. Here are some of them
- Some of my chinese friends (makes me wonder?) claim that it means
- In hindi, my native tongue
- Sharm mean shyness
- Sharmila means shy (And there is an actress called Sharmila Tagore) So I was nicknamed Sharmila
- Frozen Sharmila or Stupid Horse .....
- Some people claim that it is from one of the ealry Jewish leaders...
What is in a name .......:-)
