Steven Sommer Steven Sommer


From January 2002 until May 2003, I undertook a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) at the Australian Graduate School of Management (AGSM), a combined school of the University of New South Wales and the University of Sydney.

From April 1998 until January 2002, I was employed by Cisco Systems Australia; first as a Software Engineer and Project Manager for a Java based multicast diagnostic tool, and then later as a Technical Support Manager within Cisco's Technical Assistance Center

In December 1997, I completed the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Macquarie University within the Distributed Computing Unit of the Microsoft Research Institute and within the Department of Computing. I was the founder and chief architect of the Dreams Project.

My PhD thesis investigated the problems in extending conventional operating systems so that they may reliably support distributed real-time applications. More details about my research can be found in my published work. A personal bibliography is available here.

In 1991, I received my BSc(Hons) and the University Medal in Computer Science from the University of Sydney.
