George Riley

I am a Ph.D. student in the Networking and Telecommunications Group of in the College of Computing at Georgia Tech. My current research includes creating distributed simulations of telecommunications networks, using potentially non-homogenous simulation frameworks. We are also looking at issues relating to multicast join and leave semantics as they relate to the pruning and grafting of the multicast routing tree.

I'm blessed with a wonderful family.

My wife of over fourteen years, Kris Nagel (a research scientist here at Georgia Tech and part-time PhD Student)

My daughter Jenn Riley who recently received a Master's degree in Musicology from Indiana University, and is working at the Music Library at IU.
My son Pat Riley who is a PhD Student Carnegie Mellon University (studying computer science of course),
My son Michael Riley who is a fifthgrader at Oak Grove Elementary School in Dekalb County Ga. (the picture here is somewhat out of date..that's him as a Kindergartener)
My son Matthew Riley who is 3 years old.
Our dog Scooter who is 16 years old (picture to be supplied). (I regret to add that Scooter passed away recently)
Our latest addition, a new puppy Benson (picture to be supplied).

RELAVENT PROFESSIONAL HISTORY:
Georgia Institute of Technology, Oct 1996 to Present.
Full time Ph.D. student at Georgia Institute of Technology.
Work as Graduate Teaching Assistant and Graduate Research Assistant as well as completing studies.
Infoware, Inc., Dec 1987 to Oct 1996. President.
Duties included assistance to Computer Sciences Raytheon Corporation at the Central Computer Complex, CCAFS in the areas of Cyber System software corrections and enhancements, CYBER Real-Time system enhancements, CDCNET Front-End processor enhancements.
Primary technical lead for design and development of the Tertiary Range Safety System (TRSS) and its successor the Distributed Range Safety System (DRSD). Both of these systems were written in Ada with some 8086 Assembly language for serial communications.

Developed a commercial software product written in "C" and DEC Alpha Assembler for emulation of CDC Cyber computers on DEC Alpha platform.

Atlanta Computer Consultants, Inc., 1981 to Present. President.
Most recently have provided consulting to Lockheed/Martin Corp in support of design, implementation and integration of computer hardware and software to gather and distribute metric data collected from radars and telemetry antennae in support of missile support functions at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.

Over the years, duties have been primarily to provide systems software support to the Air Force at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Central Computer Complex.

This support has included conversion of all Cyber operating system modifications to new system levels on two separate occasions; additional classified data security modifications; benchmarking, installation and checkout of new CDC Cyber 860 computer systems; complete code level documentation of all locally generated system programs; development of an on-line data-base system to track system modifications and analysts activities; coding and checkout of the software interface from the CYBERs to the DEC VAX RSDS; and numerous other software efforts as directed by the Air Force.

Provided support to Control Data Corporation in the installation of the dual CYBER 750 real-time systems for the MDPS project at Vandenberg Air Force Base.

Instructed numerous training classes for Control Data in many facets of the NOS operating system.

Headed a team of four programmers in an commercially successful applications software effort for the IBM Personal Computer.

Designed, coded, and debugged the software for the CDCNET/JDIF front end communications processor at the CCC, which is an Ethernet based, networked front end.
