I currently serve both as a researcher and an administrator in the Computer Science Department at Cornell. In my guise as an administrator, I manage the Computer Facilities Support group and worry about a number of issues including computer security, networking, and building web services.

On the research side, I am the principal investigator for Cornell's part of the CS-TR project. This is an ARPA-funded consortium of the top five computer science departments and the Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI). Our research is intended to further the rapid dissemination of breaking technical research over the Internet, as well as making available on-line the existing libraries of technical reports from the consortium members.

As part of the CS-TR project, two researchers working at Cornell, Jim Davis, a Xerox employee of the Design Research Institute (DRI), and Carl Lagoze, employed by the CS-TR project, have developed and implemented a protocol and system for the dissemination over the net of technical reports and similar material. The system, called Dienst, is now in use at eight University sites on the net. A technical report on Dienst is available. For more information on Dienst and the CS-TR project, please send email to cs-tr@cs.cornell.edu.

I've put together a page of selected URLs, some related to my research, some to the computing facilities, and some are just things I'm interested in.
