Program Leader


Vision Statement

To make NICTA the leader in providing ‘pervasive mobile’ technologies; enabling the emergence of new functionality for users in a world of ever increasing embedded and networked devices.

Biography

Dr. Ott is Program Leader of the Networking and Pervasive Computing (NPC) Program at NICTA. He also leads the CAMP and StarCom project. 

Before coming to NICTA he co-founded Semandex, which is a pioneer provider of Content-Based Networks, a new generation of Enterprise Information Integration and Knowledge Management systems. At Semandex he invented, designed, and directed the implementation of the core technology behind the company's line of content routing products.

Dr. Ott also holding a Research Professor appointment at WINLAB, Rutgers University where he is responsible for the software architecture of the ORBIT testbed.

Prior to that, he was a technical manager at the Communications and Computing Research Laboratory (CCRL), NEC USA where his responsibilities included providing technical leadership in the area of multimedia/Internet software within NEC CCRL's network systems research activities. Before that, he was a visiting scientist at the NHK Science and Research Laboratories, Tokyo, Japan.

He received a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of Tokyo, Japan, an M.S. from the Technical University, Vienna, Austria. and an excellent foundation from the HTBLA Steyr.
