Miguel Ponce de Leon is the Competence Centre head for the Communication Infrastructure Management (CIM) centre, a unit of the Telecommunications Software & Systems Group (TSSG), a research group which focuses on telecommunications software services management and Internet technologies. The CIM centre is currently staffed to 25 people, which is made up of Primary Investigators, Senior Researchers and PhD / MSc students.
Current Research: In the area of Living Labs Miguel is looking to the ground work for more elaborate and distributed prototyping, testing, and validation facilities (i.e. Network of European Living Labs) with the:
This activity is facilitated through the IST CoreLabs project, and actively supported by the AMI@Work community. In the area of IP Mobility, Miguel is managing a team of researchers that are looking to the underlying network infrastructures over which next generation services will be delivered. With the emergence of IPv6 as the neutral transport of choice for next generation networks, the related issues of IP Mobility and Network Reliability are being explored. In the area of Security, Miguel manages a team of researchers that are looking at the many types of threats to service information, such as viruses, credit card fraud, infringement of private life, economic espionage, hacking and big brother monitoring, which can be propagated to the end-user. This team are developing a trusted and dependable security framework with a consistent level of trust and security in mobile, heterogeneous networks. The team is also taking part in the creation of the European “ICT Security & Dependability Research strategy beyond 2010” and administrating the European Security & Dependability Task Force. In the area of Autonomic Network Management, Miguel is monitoring the activities undertaken by TSSG SFI Foundations of Autonomic Network Management programme which investigates the whole issue of network management for Next Generation Networks (NGNs) and the issue of Operational Support Systems (OSSs) and Next Generation OSS (NGOSS). He also actively contributes to the Celtic research project Madeira, which is looking to network management of a Peer 2 Peer paradigm. Past Projects:IST OPIUM Research validation through test case design and verification of end-to-end service mobility, interoperability and roaming solutions through the interconnection of open middleware platforms based on OSA/Parlay.

Education: Miguel Ponce de Leon is a graduate from the Waterford Institute of Technology where by 1996 he held a Bachelor of Technology Honours Degree in Electronic Engineering. Past Experience:Between 1996-2002 Miguel worked for Motorola Ireland & Motorola USA, were he designed, developed and tested core call processing modules for Analog, CDMA, GPRS & 3G UMTS communication systems. He was also part of the field deployment teams for these systems in Argentina, Brazil, Spain, Israel, the UK and the Philippines. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
