John L. Miller's Home Page

I am a Software Architect in the Cambridge Incubation team, part of Microsoft Research Cambridge.

Cambridge Incubation takes select research results from the research lab and incubates them, with the goal of either directly releasing the technology, or producing a derivative suitable for incorporation into existing Microsoft products.

I also participate in research projects to varying degrees. My most active area of interest is peer networking and distributed systems. If you're doing anything interesting in peer-to-peer content distribution or distributed virtual environments (e.g. multiplayer games) I'd love to hear about it.
