Ten Lucent Technologies Scientists and Engineers are Named Bell Labs Fellows.MURRAY HILL Murray Hill may refer to one of the following places:
The Fellow Award honors outstanding and sustained R&D contributions. Dan Stanzione, Chief Operating Officer Chief Operating Officer (COO) The officer of a firm responsible for day-to-day management, usually the president or an executive vice-president. of Lucent and president of Bell Labs, presented the awards to Thomas Brinkman, Monica Sentoff and Ronald Spanke, of Bell Labs, Naperville, Ill.; Debasis Mitra and Mihalis Yannakakis, Murray Hill, N.J.; Krisna Murtti, Krishan Sabnani Krishan Sabnani (b. 1954 in New Delhi) is an Indian-American engineer and Senior Vice President of the Networking Research Laboratory at Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs in New Jersey. and William Thompson, Holmdel, N.J.; Jeff Sonntag, Allentown; and Martin Welt, Middletown, N.J. Since the program began 16 years ago, 150 employees have been named Bell Labs Fellows. The honorees each received a monetary award and a plaque. Brinkman received the award for his contributions to the architecture and development of wireless switching technology across four generations of cellular systems and for innovation in bringing packet and digital switching into the wireless market. Mitra was honored for seminal contributions to the application of mathematics to communication systems, especially adaptive echo cancellation The elimination of an echo in a two-way voice transmission. Echo is created in the telephone company's central office switch when two-wire lines from the customer are converted to four-wire lines for backbone trunks. , asymptotic queuing theory queuing theory Study of the behaviour of queues (waiting lines) and their elements. Queuing theory is a tool for studying several performance parameters of computer systems and is particularly useful in locating the reasons for “bottlenecks,” compromised , stochastic models Stochastic models Liability-matching models that assume that the liability payments and the asset cash flows are uncertain. Related: Deterministic models. for data communication, and resource allocation resource allocation Managed care The constellation of activities and decisions which form the basis for prioritizing health care needs in data networks. Murti was cited for technical contributions and leadership in the development of multimedia communications software (communications, software) communications software - Application programs, operating system components, and probably firmware, forming part of a communication system. These different software components might be classified according to the functions within the Open Systems for the Internet. He currently heads the Advanced Multimedia Communications Department and is vice president of technology for elemedia, a venture within Lucent providing middleware for Internet telephony and multimedia communications over IP networks. Sabnani, who heads the Networking Software Research Department, was lauded for seminal contributions to the research and development of communication protocols. He has contributed to the design of new protocols, to conformance test generation, validation, automated converter generation, and reverse engineering of communication protocols, and to wireless networking protocols. Sentoff received the Award for technical contributions and leadership in the software architecture and design of Network Systems switching products. Sonntag was cited for leadership in the development of new Lucent Microelectronics businesses by advancing and applying the state-of-the-art in baseband communications architecture and analog circuit design Spanke was honored for outstanding technical leadership and innovation in the fields of photonics, ATM, and wireless technology, and the application of these technologies in the evolution of the 5ESS Switching System. Thompson received the Award for sustained excellence in high-speed transmission product architecture development. He currently leads the team that defined the product architecture for WaveStar OLS OLS Ordinary Least Squares OLS Online Library System OLS Ottawa Linux Symposium OLS Operation Lifeline Sudan OLS Operational Linescan System OLS Online Service OLS Organizational Leadership and Supervision OLS On Line Support OLS Online System 400G, Lucent's 80-wavelength DWDM (Dense WDM) The term given to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) when significantly more channels were being added. Since WDM is increasingly more "dense" all the time, both terms are used synonymously. See WDM. DWDM - wavelength division multiplexing optical-line system. Welt was named a Fellow for outstanding contributions to the architecture and development of industry-leading business communication solutions, including computer graphics, real-time call-control, system reliability, performance measurement, multimedia collaboration software, Internet applications, computer-telephony integration, client-server systems, standards, video compression algorithms, video processing and Call Center applications. He heads both the Conferencing and Collaboration Server and CTI (Computer Telephone Integration) Combining data with voice systems in order to enhance telephone services. For example, automatic number identification (ANI) allows a caller's records to be retrieved from the database while the call is routed to the appropriate party. Platform and Applications Departments. Yannakakis, head of the Computing Principles Research Department, was honored for seminal contributions to the design and analysis of fundamental algorithms with applications to system testing and fault detection. His work has also impacted the design and analysis of database systems and network protocols. Lucent Technologies, headquartered in Murray Hill, N.J., designs, builds and delivers a wide range of public and private networks, communications systems and software, data networking systems, business telephone systems and microelectronic components.
