Thierry Rakotoarivelo - Research Work

• 2006 - Now

  I joined the Networked Systems Group at the National ICT Australia (NICTA).
  
  My current research focuses on large scale distributed infrastructures, and more precisely on how to distribute services and content to such systems, and how to control and manage them. More information on these topics can be found our project homepage at NICTA. Within this context, we have been developing the OMF control and Management Framework, which you can find on the OMF homepage

• 2003 - 2006

  I was a PhD candidate. I defended my thesis on Jan.07 and graduated on May 07.
  My PhD was in a cotutelle agreement between UNSW (Sydney, Australia) and DMI Lab at ENSICA / LAAS (Toulouse, France).
  My current research focused on Quality of Service (QoS) for Overlay Networks, and Peer-to-Peer systems.
  These are my publications on these topics:

• 2001 - 2003

  I was a Research Engineer for Motorola Australia.
  At the Motorola Australian Research Centre (MARC, now closed), I worked with the Wireless Technology Lab (WTL) on QoS oriented MAC protocols for Wireless LAN (WLAN).
  I collaborated to the development of technologies resulting in two issued patents:
  
  
  • System and method for adaptive polling in a WLAN.
    C. Ware, and T. Rakotoarivelo.
    United States Patent Number 7085256 - Issued on August 1, 2006.
  
  
  • Adaptive scheduling window management for a quality of service enabled local area network.
    T. Rakotoarivelo, R. Raad, and C. Ware.
    United States Patent Number 6961311 - Issued on November 1, 2005.
  
  

• 2001

  I was an internship student in the MobQoS Lab at UNSW. I was involved with the Integrated Personal Mobility Architecture (IPMoA) project.
  I designed and developed the SIP client agent used in IPMoA.
  
  
  • Integrated personal mobility architecture: a complete personal mobility solution.
    B. Thai, R. Wan, A. Seneviratne, and T. Rakotoarivelo.
