I have been working in computer networking for a long time, starting with my Ph.D. in computer networking from ETH Zürich. Publishing the first book about the technical foundations of the Web during my post-doc year at ICSI, my interest switched to Web technologies and Web architecture, and this is the field that I have been working in since 1997.

Working at ETH Zürich and as an independent consultant, I had the opportunity to both work on interesting research topics (mostly focusing on XML and associated topics such as XSLT and XSD), and to consult companies about their Web-related strategies and projects. For two years, I managed a project about shared management for bibliographic data, where we defined and used XML-based data models (my online bibliography is managed with this system).

I joined the UC Berkeley School of Information in mid-2006, and since then have shifted my focus from structured data to Web services in general, Web-oriented architectures for mobile and/or location-oriented services, and more generally the question of how to design and implement systems that are in line with Web architecture. The goal of this design is to build systems that are scalable, decentralized, can adapt quickly to changing requirements, and can be easily used on a large variety of platforms without requiring complex runtime frameworks. We have applied these architectural principles to areas as diverse as open e-government data and personalized location-based services. With the recent success of native mobile runtime platforms, it is foreseeable that services need to be designed in a way that supports their use across the widest possible range of platforms, and plain Web principles provide a good starting point for this design approach.

In addition to my research work, I regularly serve as a program committee member for a variety of conferences and workshops as well as for some journals, and have also started to organize some of these events myself.

My publication list (and my publication lists in DBLP, Google Scholar, and the ACM Digital Library).
My curriculum vitae, my LinkedIn profile, my blog, and my twitter feed.
An online bibliography (browsing only) or the search interface for it.
A list of submission deadlines I will probably miss (and a rather poorly maintained list of conferences that I am interested in).
Home pages for courses I have been teaching at various universities. proposed diploma thesis subjects -->
And last but not least: Have a look at my brain dump! (well, sort of... actually, it is an extensive online glossary of Web technologies that I am working on continually).
