Research Interests

Bobby's research interests have included communications protocols, protocol subsystems, portability, network management, distributed systems, and operating systems.

Bobby has recently been focusing on peer-to-peer distributed systems and their implications on traditional client-server computing. He is currently developing network-generation systems and application management products fusing peer-to-peer concepts with traditional network management architectures to increase scaling while de-centralizing management of IT resources.
