Geometric and Intelligent Computing Lab Philadelphia, PA gicl.cs.drexel.edu Working on the Secure Wireless Agent Testbed (SWAT) project (swat.coe.drexel.edu). This work entails the integration of mobile agent architectures with ad hoc wireless networks on resource-constrained devices. My specific focus is toward researching algorithms for service discovery in dynamic networks and developing methods for probabilistic inferences to be made upon the agent system. For a recent accounting of my work, please refer to: http://gicl.cs.drexel.edu/people/evan/aaai05/ Consultant and Independent Contractor Feith Systems and Software Fort Washington, PA www.feith.com Continued work on the Feith Document Database product line and continued consulting for Feith's 1M+ document imaging solutions. Created custom software for such corporations as Kellogg's, Sherwin Williams, The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the U.S. Bureau of the Census, and others. Independent Contractor Arch Wireless (Brokered by Feith) Westborough, MA www.arch.com Created a shim or ``glueware'' program that communicates with Arch's ``TestJig'' apparatus. The TestJig tests incoming refurbished pagers to ensure they still respond to the correct frequency. It used to be that employees had to log into a legacy application and enter pager serial numbers and then manually enter, among other things, their frequency into the TestJig. Now, one may simply swipe the pager with a barcode wand, place it in the TestJig, and my program will do the rest. Consultant and Independent Contractor Pennsylvania Association for Marriage and Family Therapy Software Engineer Feith Systems and Software www.feith.com Fort Washington, PA Created custom applications and database schemas for enterprise document imaging solutions. I personally wrote the Feith Quick Integrator (links legacy terminal applications to Feith's flagship FDD product), Barcode Maker (produces barcodes on-the-fly for document indexing), VIP Analyzer (audits the productivity of Feith users), Easyjuke Cleaner (scans large optical jukebox servers for orphan files, cross-referencing with the central database), FDD Notify (which notifies the user when he/she gets new work in the Feith Workflow iQ system). Agent Systems Reference Model http://gicl.cs.drexel.edu/people/regli/reference_model-v1a.pdf Sultanik is a contributing author to a reference model for agent systems, developed under the Applied Communications and Information Networking program, DoD Contract DAAB07-01-9-L504 to the US Army Communications and Electronics Command Research Development and Engineering Center in support of the Intelligent Agents Sub-Integrated Product Team. As of November, 2006, the reference model has been approved for distribution-unlimited public release with the intent of becoming a FIPA, ISO, and/or IEEE standard. The reference model allows existing and future agent frameworks to be compared and contrasted, as well as providing a basis for identifying areas requiring standardization within the agents community. HEAT: Heterogenous Agent Teams Acted as the de facto principal investigator (de jure: William Regli) for the HEAT project(100k over 8 months). Sultanik authored the statement of work for the project and has managed its progress since inception. The project has included collaboration with Soartech's cognitive agent architecture to investigate human-robot teaming: using autonomous robots controlled by a multiagent system to reduce dependence on remote control. Due to the success of the HEAT project, Sultanik and Regli have co-authored a proposal with Soartech that has won a Small Business Innovation Research program. Software Engineer at Feith Systems Sultanik contributed to the Feith Document Database product line and consulted for Feith's 1M+ document imaging solutions. Sultanik created custom software for such corporations as Kellogg's, Sherwin Williams, The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the U.S. Bureau of the Census, and others. Sultanik designed and implemented the the Feith Quick Integrator (links legacy terminal applications to Feith's flagship FDD product), Barcode Maker (produces barcodes on-the-fly for document indexing), VIP Analyzer (audits the productivity of Feith users), Easyjuke Cleaner (scans large optical jukebox servers for orphan files, cross-referencing with the central database), FDD Notify (which notifies the user when he/she gets new work in the Feith Workflow iQ system). Secure Wireless Agent Testbed(SWAT) A project initially created to study information assurance techniques for handheld devices on wireless networks. Sultanik was among the first students to work on the project, created the initial hardware specification, and helped design the multiagent system. The testbed has been key in several follow-on programs (including the DARPA ATO/SAPIENT and IXO/SPEYES programs) and was/is part of several major demonstration programs for the United States Army, NATO and the United States Department of Justice. A company, DrakontasLLP, is successfully commercializing the SWAT technologies in areas of homeland defense, port security and situation awareness for public protectors. Sultanik contributed to an experiment called SINCE, conducted by US Army CERDEC, using the SWAT. The SINCE experiment received the Best Network-Centric Warfare Program from a Coalition Partner Award from the Network-Centric Warfare Conference, and also the International Collaboration Award from the 25 Army Science Conference.
