Hey, I should have introduced myself much earlier. I am an engineer employed by Sun Microsystems (daa...) in Menlo Park campus, CA. I am now working on Sun Cluster product. Before that, I was working on Sun's Netra High Availability Suite project (actually not Fundation, but Framework, but that is a long (and quite disapointing) story). And before that, I worked on Sun's Embedded Realtime OS Chorus, in Paris, France, for a while (actually you might wanna have a look at Jaluna, if interested...).
This year is my fifth year at Sun !
I graduated in 1999 from Paul Sabatier University in Toulouse France, with a Ph.D. on Dependability of Microkernel-Based Operating Systems, whithin the Dependable Computing and Fault Tolerance groups at LAAS-CNRS Laboratory.
My most recent (well, or less old should I say) contribution to a paper was in a Special section on "Fault-Tolerant Embedded Systems", IEEE ToC, Vol.51, in 2002, I was also contributing author for a book, published by Kluwer Academic, in 2003.
