Teaching:

I teach the following courses:

Distributed Systems, (DS, 213011), with Sape Mullender en Jeroen Doumen
Real-Time Systems , (RTS-1, 213020, was (RTES, 213013)),
Professional course on principles of Real-Time systems.

The following course is not given anymore but still serves as valuable background information:

Computer Architecture, (Systeemprogrammering, 211004), Practicum: Ferdy Hanssen, currently an adapted version is under development by Hans Scholten

Research

My research activities are in the field of Embedded Systems; many topics are related to Real-Time (RT) system support:

Hard RT processing: Scheduling and feasibility analyses
RT networking: Scheduling and feasibility analyses
Soft RT: QoS analyses and admission control for Multimedia systems
Distributed Resource Control: Scheduling and feasibility analyses in parallel and distributed systems

For more detailed information and publications you may take a look at my research page.

Projects

I participate in the following current projects:

Omphale, (2006) a cooperation with NXP Research, investigates information flows from the background memory to on-tile memory in an Network On Chip context.
PaSTA, (2005) a cooperation with NXP Research, investigates Timing Analyses in an Network On Chip context.
Smart Surroundings (2004) a Bsik project to investigate, define, develop, and demonstrate the core architectures and frameworks for future ambient systems.
Featherlight (2004) is a STW project in feather-light distributed mechanisms for networking and distributed collaboration.

I have been involved in the following recent project(s):

Tehea (2003-2007) a European project that adresses networked home control applications for the audio-video world to specify an open, secure global home platform.
Eyes (2001-2005) a European project on energy effecient sensor networks.
@HomeAnywhere (2001-2005) a NWO project to integrate home appliances into one coherent distributed architecture.
Gecko (2002-2006) a NWO project that adresses fundamental issues in design and architecture of low power handheld devices.

Meetings

Of course you can send mail to me. If you would like to encrypt your message you can use the following PGP public key.

Professional Hobby

I like to maintain my own operating systems, at home as well at work. I consider this as a good practical school for finding your way in the abundance of tools that are needed for computer science. I'm however not a professional System Administrator and for in-depth questions you better go to the more skilled SA's such as Fred Gansevles. Beginners with interests in an online Unix Administration may have a look at the (now dated) course from David Jones.
