I am a former member of Research Staff at the Department
of Computer Science IV of the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany
and was doing research on the MEMSY
project. and on the BackStage project.
Research Interests
I am interested in System Administration, Distributed Systems, Operation
System design and porting issues, Time Synchronization and Long Term Storage
Technology.
I finished writing my PhD thesis focusing on on a concept for improving
long term storage technology by preserving valuable additional information
that allows the interpretation of the stored data.
From 1994 to 1996 I worked at the consulting company BankBetriebsWirtschaft
in Wiesbaden Germany. Major topic where production environments for Unix
applications. Software engineering and architectural issues in networked
environments.
Since 1997 I head the department of Middle-ware at Dresdner Bank in
the IT department for Investment banking.
Other Interests
In my sparse time, I am following more practical paths:
-
System Administration of heterogeneous Unix networks
-
Network Time Protocol
-
Together with my colleague Rainer Pruy I am running
the Erlangen NTP primary server.
We contributed a configurable reference clock support (supporting several
DCF77 receivers and a GPS receiver)(Ok that really was
my part) and some statistics and analysis tools (that's actually
Rainer's part) to the Xntp3 distribution.
The current version used for the primary servers in Erlangen is xntp3
version 3.4x.
... it has probably been upgraded by Admins that took care of NTP after me.
More information about NTP can be found in the NTP
home page.
