Main interest areas:

• Distributed Systems ( Distributed Algorithms and Systems, Mobile Computing, DSM, Objects , etc)
• Operating Systems (Bibliographies on OS Research, ACM SIGOPS list of upcoming events)
• Parallelism ( Beguinner´s Guide to Parallel Computation , links to Research Groups, Projects, ...)
• Off-road :
  After some time with a Suzuki 125, I now ride a XR250R (but still hope to upgrade: XR400R , YZ400F, or KLX300R will do nicely, thank you!)
  Saturday and sunday morning you can also catch me on a Cannondale.
