This is the supplemental web site for various standards activities, maintained by Eric Burger. Why is it here? Because while it is nice to give commercial entities the glory of supporting standards work, companies get sold or merge or change domain names; or people move, which makes it harder to get IT support from a company you no longer are associated with. This is my site, so I can do what I want. That also means it will be woefully out of date and will NOT be a cool, Flash-enabled multimedia extravaganza. I often check this site on my Blackberry or Treo device; I want it to be easy for you to navigate and see the results on such limited devices, too.
And, let us not forget, it is cool to own your own domain.
Dr. Eric Burger was hired as VP Engineering and Deputy CTO for BEA Systems, Inc. and ended up Acting General Manager of the Communications Products Division. BEA was acquired by Oracle, so now it is Oracle who provides the world’s #1 Java application server, installed at 100% of the Fortune Global 500 Telecommunications and Network Communications companies. Prior to BEA, he was CTO for Cantata Technology, where he oversaw corporate research, cross-product architecture, intellectual property generation, and standards initiatives for the company. Dr. Burger contributes to and holds leadership positions in several standards bodies, including having written most of the SIP media RFC’s in the IETF and contributing to VoiceXML and CCXML in the W3C. He currently serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the SIP Forum. Dr. Burger co-founded SnowShore Networks, where he invented the SIP-controlled, multi-function media server and served as CTO. He has also held senior positions at companies such as MCI, Texas Instruments, Centigram, and Cable & Wireless. He holds twelve issued U.S. patents and has numerous patents pending. He has taught at George Mason University and George Washington University and holds degrees from MIT, Catholic University of Leuven, and Illinois Institute of Technology.
In the mean time, Dr. Burger is Chairman of the Board (sorry about the sexism, but it is what our Swedish bylaws calls the position) of the SIP Forum.
Dr. Burger's current research areas include real-time interactive multimedia protocols, sensor networks, and edge computing. See his CV.
