Internet Technologies Research Group
It acts as a originator and coordinator of
research and development activity and also as a
catalyst for enhancing the technology transfer
activity of other groups within the University
and interfacing to industry and commerce.
Relationships have been built up with
Governments around the world, most notably the
UK, Republic of Ireland, India and
China. Industrial collaborations of group
include- NorTel, AVM Telecom(Germany), Logica
UK, Cadence Inc (USA), BT Group, NTT (Japan), Sun
Microsystems (USA), NTL, Vodafone Research,
Fujitsu Telecommunications Europe, Oracle, IBM,
Cisco Systems USA, Lucent, Telcordia (USA), SAP
(Germany/Northern Ireland), InfoSys (India),
NMSWorks (India), Causeway Data Communications
Ltd, Wipro Technologies (India), and Sasken
Communications (India).

Postgraduate Diploma/Advanced MSc
Telecommunications and Internet
Systemshttp//www.infc.ulst.ac.uk/informatics/cou
rses/msc/tds/Index.html
Now rated in top 5 courses of its kind is all
of the UK! Designed in conjunction with BT and
Fujitsu Telecommunications Europe Sponsored by
BT, Cisco Systems (San Jose) and Asidua Ltd for
MSc projects, prizes and industrial laboratory
internships Most modules are presented over a
five week period for one whole day per week all
modules are moving to an e-learning mode in which
students follow a programme of study available
on-line. This MSc will be of benefit and
relevance to BT Ireland in its roll-out of 21CN
and other companies working in the fixed-wireless
communications industry

Looking to the future.I am interested in -

• Opportunities to support the creation of a
  Telecommunications Competence Centre that looks
  at the converged cross-layer QoS/Performance in
  support of customer applications.
• (defining the core objectives, standing out from
  the crowd, supporting local industry and FDI,
  thematic agenda for NG Internet)
• Development of a strategy for funding of joint
  RD and technology transfer/consultancy
  Proposals in Telecommunications Engineering and
  Internet Systems between our research group and
  industry with InvestNI support.
• Development of sponsored PhD Programmes in
  Telecommunications Engineering (e.g.
  EPSRC-industry CASE PhD Scholarships)
• Further engagement with our MSc in
  Telecommunications and Internet Systems at
  Coleraine Campus to support Telecomms industry
  requirements on the island of Ireland.
• Opportunities to develop a range of specialised
  undergraduate/postgraduate courses with themes of
  security, wireless internet technologies, NG
  Network Management, Large scale data management
  and distributed real-time multimedia.
• support the vision for a Cross Border Centre of
  Excellence in NG Internet
