Personal Information

I may eventually put an HTML version of my proposal up, but if you are really interested in seeing a Table of Contents or more information, send me e-mail (kevin@cc.gatech.edu). In the meantime, I have a Statement of Research Interests which might be helpful.

Other areas of interest include learning about multicast protocols used in the MBone, the IETF transport and routing working groups, and telecommunications public policy (my PhD minor).

  • FutureNet Involvement

    In addition to my normal teaching and research duties, I am working part-time on FutureNet. This multi-million dollar effort is being developed with the help of the Georgia Center for Advanced Telecommunications Technology (GCATT), and the Georgia Tech Office of Information Technology (OIT). FutureNet is basically a next generation network to provide connectivity, applications, and learning opportunities between middle and high school students in Georgia, and various educational institutions like Georgia Tech, Fernbank Science Museum, Zoo Atlanta, etc. FutureNet requires a great deal of networking infrastructure, and this is where I come in! Now that the 1996 Olympics are over and Georgia Tech is slowly returning to normal, I can now start working on what is officially called the Digital Video Project of FutureNet. This basically involves interconnecting a number of groups at Georgia Tech: (1) students living in the dorms, (2) faculty, teaching assistants, and researchers in academic buildings, (3) classes and lectures from classrooms, and (4) the rest of the Internet. Applications will be based on real-time audio and video and will require significant bandwidth. To this extent, FutureNet has been coordinating the installation of the necessary physical network including high-speed LANs, a analog cable based video system, and a digital broadband network. For more information, see the Digital Video Project home page!

  • Current Goals

    As of September 1, 1996 I have about 9 months to graduation. My plan is to spend the next six months working on my current research projects, and the final three months writing and finalizing my dissertation. The three most significant projects I'm working on now are: (1) Development of the Interactive Multimedia Jukebox, (2) Video Delivery at Georgia Tech, and (3) Continued Work on the Mlisten collection tool.

    Also in the next 9 months I'll be looking and interviewing for a post-graduation job.
