John's current research project involves managing network resources using agents in a TCP/IP over ATM environment. He has investigated emerging agent languages, such as Telescript, and regularly applies the results of his inquiries to on-going ATI research projects. He has studied in Berlin at the Technische Universtitaet, where he took a course offered by the GMD and TU on Intelligent Agents, which led to his interest in broadband networking, autonomous agents, and TCP/IP over ISDN for multiple platforms.
