Name: Kenneth  Calvert
Position Type: Professorship
Appointment Start Date: 07/01/02
Appointment End Date: 06/30/07
Area of Specialty: Systems research in Computer Science Formal methods in Computer Science
Summary Vita: S.B., MIT, 1979 M.S., Stanford, 1980 Bell Laboratories, Member of Technical Staff, 1980-1984 PhD, U. Texas - Austin, 1991 Assistant Professor, College of Computing, Georgia Tech, 1991-1998 Associate Professor, Computer Science, University of Kentucky, 1998-present
Highest Degree: Ph.D.
Professional Affiliations: Senior Member, IEEE, IEEE Computer and Communications Societies Vice-Chairman, IEEE CommSoc Technical Committee on Computer Communications Steering Committee, IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols Program Co-Chair, 2004 International Working Conference on Active Networks Associate Editor, IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking
Primary Research Focus: Design and implementation of computer network protocols and services to support new distributed applications.
Key Contributions: Led effort to define architecture for active networking, a new paradigm for design of networks Led (with Griffioen) design and development of Concast and Secure Concast network service, one of the first practical programmable network services. Led design and development of Ephemeral State Processing, a novel paradigm for extending the service provided by network infrastructure. This technology, when deployed in the Internet, will enable a new class of applications and support better management for a more robust and reliable network. Developed widely-used tool for modeling network topology for use in simulation studies. Currently developing a novel paradigm for routing information in networks.
