Helping deaf and hearing impaired people in Austria - DEC112
Today’s emergency services are almost voice-only capable and only a marginal share of data and multimedia is used by Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs).
Improving access to emergency services for deaf and hard of hearing citizens induces enabling PSAPs and people in need to handle their modes of communications such as text.

ESA AMP testbed completed
Finally after about two years of development the AMP (Advanced Mobility Protocolls) testbed developed for the European Space Agency (ESA) was delivered to its European Space Research and Technology Center (ESTEC) in Noordwijk, Netherlands.
AMP consists of a virtualization host, cisco switches, a JAR Network Emulator and some physical hosts and allows the simulation of various IPv6 mobility protocolls in a satellite context like PMIP, NEMO and MPTCP. It is completely self contained, remote controllable and can simulate even complex network layouts.
It was a pleasure to work on this project!

Managing Virtualbox VM’s with Python
Have you ever wanted to automate Virtualbox VM’s using the vboxapi Python bindings? Then you might have also read the SDK documentation PDF (e.g. for 5.1.4 here). There are just some few lines on working with Python and sometimes not everything seems clear (at least not to me). So in this post I show some sample which provided me some troubles while working on a project lately.

node.js based LoST (RFC 5222) server
Sometimes you need a component for a project or some tests and there is no or at least no free implementation available. This happens to me when I wanted to translate a geographically position (lat/lon) into a corresponding service URN. RFC 5222 provides more information on that. After reading the RFC which looked not that complicated I decided to implement such a server myself. The goal was also that it should be lightweigt, easy to develop and to deploy into the cloud. So it was obvious to me that node.js and mongodb will be used.
