My salary comes from an industrially funded infrastructure project on mobile systems called Mobile Systems Research Lab (MSRL) and an FET-IST funded research project on autonomic networks called Autonomic Network Architecture (ANA).
I would have liked to get more involved in Algorithms and Computational algebra, and also in applications of AI in networking... but everybody sais I must finish my PhD first :( ...

ARIADNE, (developed in this project) is a prototype framework for software validation. It helps locate and investigate module dependencies in software systems (written in C), by layering the data flow information (static analysis). It uses a modified version of the Icaria-Ponder program slicer developed by D. Atkinson.
