This are the projects I have worked in since I arrived
to USF in Fall 2005.
- I am currently (Summer and Fall 2008 and beyond) working on using
last hop routers to enable network hosts to sleep, in other words,
implement network connectivity proxies in the router. The basic idea
is to determine what can be done in the router so that networks host
preserve their network presence during sleep time. These projects have
focused on Linksys routers. I first had to modify the routers' firmware
so that I could run different applications on them in order to implement
the idea. I posted my experience with Linksys routers in my blog: http://migueljimeno.wordpress.com/
- During Fall 2008 I worked on a system running on a router that could
enable IP phones to sleep for long periods of time and be woken up
when a call to the phone is detected. More details about this project
can be found in a Youtube video I made for it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pR6bJyFwR9Q.
- During Summer 2008 I designed and developed a
system based on a relay server that can proxy for applications running
on a network host. The network host can go to sleep while the applications
running on the host can be proxied during the sleep time. The TCP connections
will be preserved by the relay server, so that the remote servers the
host is connected to don't drop the connections while the network host
is sleeping. More details can be seen in the publication submitted
to IPCCC 2008 (under Publications link).
- I worked (during Summer and Fall 2006) in a Proxy
Application Project, as part of the Energy
Efficient Internet Project, under an NSF grant.
- I worked in the first year (Fall 2005 and Spring 2006) in a Nasogastric
Tube Insertion Simulator Project for the Nursing School at USF.
The basic idea was to develop a software that could help students
learning the Nasogastric Tube Insertion procedure.
