Feature
Quality-of-Service Architecture for Cloud Computing Networking
The hybrid system is designed to enhanced granularity
of services with service levels such as premium,
guaranteed, better-than-best effort, and best effort. The
needed processing will classify, meter, and queue data
packets to satisfy service layer agreements. This service
improvement can be shown to handle a complex traffic
environment including voice, video, database, http, and
e-mail applications.

Research and Strategy at Edward
Jones, a Principle Design Engineer
at Erlang Technology, Inc., a Senior
Data Network Engineer in the
Optical Networking Group of Tellabs, and an engineer in the
MCI Worldcom Advanced Technology Group. His technical
experience has included architecture, analysis, design,
research, and implementation of cloud native patterns; data
center and cloud computing infrastructures; and multi-layered
communication systems. He earned his M.S. and B.S. in
Electrical Engineering from Missouri University of Science and
Technology (then the University of Missouri-Rolla) in 2001
and 1994, respectively. He was inducted by the Gamma
Theta HKN Chapter in 1999.
