I am a Lecturer in Embedded, Real-time and Safety Critical Systems at Staffordshire University. I also lecture on Cloud Computing and Virtualisation technology as well as the Internet of Things concept and related technologies. My PhD work at Bradford University was on Wireless Sensor Networks and their application to industrial environments. I used the WSO2 based SOA architecture to make the equipment and sensors on the factory shop floor and in the environment to communicate and and inter-operate with each other as well as presenting them on the internet through web services and Google Gadgets.
