Vincent’s
specific research activities include control and management systems for
networks and distributed systems, adaptive systems distributed information
systems, systems interoperability and next generation eLlearning
services. Since 1991, Vincent has been
From
1998-2000 Vincent led the European Research initiative to establish guidelines
for the development of next generation telecommunications management systems.
These guidelines, for which he was editor and principle contributor, were
chosen by the EU ACTS research programme as one of
the key research results from the programme. These
development guidelines were successfully disseminated into several standards
and industry fora including ISO and Network
Management Forum.
He has also
led industry sponsored research into management systems and knowledge engineering.
Such collaborations included telecom operators, network vendors as well as
management component developers, e.g. Intel, Eircom
(formerly Telecom Eireann), Broadcom
Research Ltd (in conjunction with
Ericsson and Telecom Eireann), Virtual Access Ltd. He
was a founding member and member of the steering committee of the
TeleManagement Forum’s University Programme
