William Fitzgerald’s Experience
-
PhD Student Researcher Final Year
Cork Constraint Computation Centre
(Educational Institution; Research industry)
January 2009 — Present (7 months)
His forth and final year of his PhD will be located within the Cork Constraint Computation Centre (4C) and shall be funded by a new SFI project: Federated Autonomic Management of End-To-End Communications Services (Fame) of which the 4C is a project partner. Leading the project is the Telecommunications Software & Systems Group at Waterford Institute of Technology.

PhD Student Researcher Years 1-3
UCC involving an intership with TSSG
(Educational Institution; Education Management industry)
June 2006 — December 2008 (2 years 7 months)
The first three years of William's research was funded by the Science Foundation Ireland (SFI): Autonomic Management of Communications Networks and Services PI Cluster Award (04/IN3/I404C) managed by the Waterford Institute of Technology's TSSG group. His PhD environment was primarily located at Telecommunications Software & Systems Group (TSSG) in Waterford, however lead supervision on his specialised security area was conducted at UCC.

Applied Researcher
Telecommunications Software & Systems Group (TSSG)
(Educational Institution; Education Management industry)
September 2004 — June 2006 (1 year 10 months)
William acted in an applied research capacity on a number of European and National projects. Most notable European FP6 and FP7 projects where:
1) SecurIST. The purpose of the SecurIST project was to deliver a Strategic Research Agenda for ICT Security and Dependability R&D for Europe beyond 2010. William was a member of the Security Taskforce. He played a role in all twelve security roadmap initiatives with significant roles in Application Security Initiative (ASI) and Internet Infrastructure Security Initiative (IISI)
2) Daidalos: Designing Advanced network Interfaces for the Delivery and Administration of Location independent, Optimised personal Services. DAIDALOS is an EU Framework Programme 6 Integrated Project. William was involved in the security aspect of WP1 and WP4 deliverables. -
Researcher
Ericsson
(Public Company; ERIC; Telecommunications industry)
2003 — 2004 (1 year)
William investigated two areas of research while at Ericsson:
1) Ericsson OSS Security Architecture: Current State and Challenges Ahead. This research investigated a number of technologies such as security methodologies within the OSS-RC architecture, CORBA, Citrix, security vulnerabilities, Single Sign-on (e.g. Liberty Alliance) etc.
2) Developing and implementing a simulation model of Trust and Reputation Management within Ad Hoc Systems. This research involved game theory, the classical prisoners dilemma game, agents, security mechanisms, and Moore neighbour, Von-Newman, Small World algorithms etc, to effectively spread highly accurate and up to date reputation data within resource sharing and ad hoc systems. -
Software Engineer - short term contract
N.U.I. Maynooth
(Educational Institution; Research industry)
2000 — 2000 (less than a year)
In the summer of 2000, William was employed by the Computer Science Department to research the NP-complete problem domain in regard to the classical Travelling Salesman Dilemma. The project goal was to develop an educational tool to aid students in understanding the nature of this complex NP-complete dilemma within their undergraduate work. It is also used, as one of N.U.I.M’s attractions on Open Day’s to illustrate the type of problems that engineers and computer scientists attempt to solve. This java based software was also exhibited on the N.U.I. Maynooth stall at the Irish Young Scientist Award (2000).
