Prior to working at Canon, I was working at HP Labs Bristol (UK), where I led research on an adaptative Web search engine and on a lightweight, distributed system management platform. From 1990 to 1995, I was a research staff member at HP Labs, working on distributed file systems and centralized system management platforms.

I am the recipient of five Canon's best investor awards (1998-2002), including a Canon Group IP award (2003), and two HP awards, including one for best technical transfer (1994). I hold or have applied for 59 patents. I have, had or will have technology included in HP OpenView, the HP-UX kernel and other products.

I am or was an editor for W3C WSDL 2.0, W3C SOAP 1.2. I am a member of the IEEE, the IEEE Computer Society and the ACM. I am or was a reviewer for several conferences or books on Web Services.
