Project Experience
At BBN, Mr. Webb's primary responsibility is to provide software support for a wide range of tasks. Most recently Mr. Webb has been responsible for the design and development of QoS managed information dissemination services and managed exchange of service information and invocation in multiple security domains. Recent work has focused on the effective use of service based software architectures and development of core services for information management applications.
Mr. Webb's technical focus is on the following areas:
