- Education
-
- Ph.D., Electrical Engineering, University of Delaware, 1980.
- Dissertation: SODS/OS: A Distributed Operating System
- M.S.E.E., Electrical Engineering, University of Delaware, 1977.

- Work Experience
-
- 1986-present Executive Director, Computer Networking Research, Bellcore,
- Morristown, NJ. Responsible for managing a group of 3-4
- subordinate managers and 20-25 researchers. Annual budget
- of approximately $7 million. Also manage laboratory
- computer center providing service to approximately 150-200
- users, annual budget approximately $2 million. One major
- objective of the Department has been to prove the
- feasibility of packet switching as the underlying
- technology for the Broadband Integrated Services Digital
- Network (BISDN). The department is currently working on
- gigabit networking, high speed packet switching, transport
- protocols, and computer network management. I am currently
- responsible for overseeing some of Bellcore's collaborative
- research with the Corporation for National Research
- Initiatives, MIT, University of Pennsylvania, and
- Washington University, as well as Bellcore's membership in
- the Internet Society. I am also responsible for
- coordinating all of Bellcore's work on the national Gigabit
- Testbeds, and lead Bellcore's work on the AURORA gigabit
- testbed. Recently, I have formed and lead Bellcore's
- collaborations on Local ATM with Apple, Digital, HP, SUN
- Microsystems, and XEROX PARC, resulting in the publication
- of specifications for a new generation of LANs based upon
- ATM technology.
-
- My personal research interests during this time involved
- simulation of broadband packet switches, broadband packet
- switch design, and extensions of local area network bridges
- into large, high speed, network applications. I have
- received 3 patents in these areas.
-
- 1989-present Adjunct Associate Professor of Computer and Information
- Science, University of Pennsylvania. In residence from
- 9/89-12/89 on sabbatical leave from Bellcore. Participated
- in Ph.D. committees for 2 students. Maintaining
- collaborations with Profs. Farber and Smith.
-
- 1983-1986 District Manager, Computer Communications Research,
- Bellcore. Formed and then supervised a group of 5-7
- researchers working in distributed computing, computer
- networking, LAN bridge techniques, optimizing compilers,
- and distributed operating systems. One major personal
- effort was the systems design and programming of a
- Ethernet-based packet telephone system which integrated
- voice and data switching on a single network.
-
- 1980-1983 Member of Technical Staff, Digital Systems Research, Bell
- Laboratories, Murray Hill, NJ. Performed research in
- distributed operating systems, packet voice transmission
- over local area networks, and distributed switching
- systems.
-
- Professional Activities
-
- Senior Editor, IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications,
- 1987-present.
- Editorial Board Member, Proceedings of the IEEE, 1992-present.
- Guest Editor, IEEE JSAC issue on Broadband Packet Communications,
- December, 1988.
- Senior Member, IEEE; Member: ACM, Tau Beta Pi, Eta Kappa Nu.

- Nominator's Comments
- --------------------
-
- I would like to nominate W. David Sincoskie as a candidate for the
- 1993 ISOC Board of Trustees election. I believe that he is qualified to
- serve the ISOC as a board member based upon his rather extensive involvement
- with the Internet to date. Dr. Sincoskie has been, at various times, an
- active researcher, user, network operator, and sponsor of R&D within the
- Internet community. Further, I also believe that as an employee of Bellcore
- he can, if elected, serve as a more effective bridge between the Internet
- community and the public telecommunications carriers.
