I am a lecturer primarily in computer networks and Internet related courses and a member of the ACROSS research group.

My research interests are in performance affects of misbehaviour (malicious or unintentional) in mobile ad-hoc networks, efficient routing algorithms in wireless networks (sensor and ad-hoc), the use of sensor and ad-hoc networks in supporting emergency services, QoS support for IP based networks, real-time scheduling theory, real-time communication in WANs especially multi-media, fault-tolerance for real-time systems and Internet protocols. I am also interested in educational research related to pedagogy, Computer Science curriculum (particularly in the area of computer networks), and the use of online technology to support student learning.

I also have an interest in natural language processing, linguistics and foreign languages. I have studied linguistics, Spanish (6 yrs), French (2 yrs), Russian (2 yrs), German (1 yr) and Japanese (1 yr) and have many years without any practice...so please don't expect fluency ;-)

REAL Network Simulator

Please note that I am no longer actively working with the REAL Network Simulator. I am now working with ns2. I won't be doing further update work for REAL. If you have questions, I will still try to assist; but only as time allows.

My linux patches for the REAL network simulator.

REAL version 4 patch REAL version 5 patch REAL version 5 Red Hat 6 & 7 patch REAL version 5 Red Hat 9 patch
clean-it (you need this file for REAL version 5 patches)
state.o (you'll need this if you are running assembler version 2.9.X (the default with RedHat 6.2) To check what version you are running type as -V. Alternatively, probably the better option, update your assembler by installing the RPM for binutils-2.10 from your favourite mirror site or RedHat).

Other Interests

Roller coasters (The faster and more exciting the better. One of the things I miss most from the USA

• Cheryl, Michael and Jon tame the Loch Ness Monster roller coaster in Duff ^H^H^H^H Busch Gardens Virginia (54 K) Close up (160 K)
• In Jan 2007, I went on SheiKra a really cool dive rollercoaster (200 feet, straight down). Lots of fun :-)
• I got the Screamin Serpent roller coaster kit for Christmas 2005 :-) and Corkscrew Canyon for my birthday 2006.

If I'm not at Uni you can find me playing with my two daughters (age 5 & 7). They take up all of my free time these days. Before they came along, you used to be able to find me:

• Playing canoe polo
• Playing GURPS and nethack
• Studying and performing Egyptian style Raks Sharqui and Baladi dancing (commonly known as belly dancing)
• Wine tasting (or just enjoying a glass by the pool). I live near several major wine regions
  • Clare Valley (1.5 hours)
  • Barossa Valley (.5 hour)
  • McLaren Vale (1 hour)
  • Coonawarra (4 hours)
