Hans Peter Dommel

I have completed my Ph.D. with Prof. J.J. Garcia-Luna-Aceves in the Computer and Communication Research Group (CCRG). Our group belongs to the School of Engineering at the University of California at Santa Cruz (UCSC), where I also received the Master of Science in 1995. I am a member of the ACM, the IEEE Computer Society, and the Gesellschaft for Informatik (GI), Germany.

In my dissertation work I have focused on coordination issues, such as cooperative resource sharing, in networked multimedia systems. The goal is to foster new ways of online collaboration and telepresence in the use of shared multimedia. In particular, I have developed and analyzed novel protocols for mediation of conflicts in synchronous user interaction and for ordered reliable multicast communication.

My current research interests are computer networks, multimedia systems, human-computer interaction, distributed systems, security, and ubiquitous computing, largely centering around issues of telecollaboration.

I have joined the Computer Engineering Department at Santa Clara University as Assistant Professor in Fall 1999. My new homepage at SCU contains links to publications and contact details.
