Doctoral Dissertation
Integration of network Ethernet interface for Bare Machine Computing: the dissertation focused on studying integration issued in bare machine computing applications initially, the Ethernet driver architecture was integrated with the bare PC web server, web-client, and bare PC web-browser. The research shows that the architecture of the bare PC can allow the programmer to integrate many other components and improve the integrated components with ease. The deployment requires a comprehensive understanding of Bare Machine Computing(BMC) development process. This thesis was based on a previous study to integrate a network Ethernet card with BMC in order to communicate. The thesis improved the previous study, expands it to include more than one NIC, and integrated to more than one application within BMC paradigm.

Research Experience
Over the four years period, the doctoral dissertation work has provided me with a wealth of experience and knowledge. During this time, I have explored many areas in research and academic fields where I learned how to logically identify and solve problems in the real world. My area of research enabled me to master various network protocols and concepts. Network protocols such as HTTP, TCP/IP, and Ethernet in addition to other network elements such as Gateways, Switches, and Routers where I used to build a local Internet to conduct experiments and analyze them enrich my knowledge theoretically and technically in the field of networking and operating system. In addition, many other kills that I mastered during my research considered as a big achievements and experience that I gained while working on my research,

such as programming with C and C++ language, literature search, identifying research issues, solving technical problems, planning and executing research plans, writing peer reviewed papers and presenting at professional conference.
