2. Resume vs Curriculum Vitae Resume  One or two page summary of your skills, experience and educa tion.  A goal of resume writing is to be brief and concise since, at bes t, the resume reader will spend a minute or so reviewing your qualifications. Curriculum Vitae (CV)  A longer (two or more pages), more detailed synopsis.  It includes a summary of your educational and academic backg rounds as well as teaching and research experience, publicatio ns, presentations, awards, honors, affiliations and other details. http://jobsearch.about.com

5. Sample Research Statement in CV I worked on the Multicast-based Inference of Network- internal Characteristics (MINC) project with Ramon Caceres and Nick Duffield. The focus of the project was to infer the network-internal characteristics, such as loss, delay, and link utilization, from measurements taken at the end-systems. My task was to take multicast loss measurements at multiple receivers simultaneously, and analyze them to validate the loss inference algorithm based on the maximum likelihood estimator.

6. Sample Research Statement in CV Scalable and secure virtual machine migration project: This project is essentially about how to reduce the bandwidth consumption and the load of the origin server in transferring similar contents (e.g. VM images). I came up with a generic compression tool called CZIP which detects redundant content across files using popular content fingerprinting methods. CZIP allows CZIP-aware servers/clients to cache similar objects based on its content without any support from the underlying systems. More information can be found in our USENIX 2007 paper.

7. Sample Research Statement in CV Implemented my TRW scan detection algorithm and tailored it for use in high performance network environments. The TRW scan detection algorithm has been deployed in Mazu’s Profiler product since November 2006. Currently developing a cache structure to improve Profiler’s query performance. Also developing a tool to automatically identify patterns in network data for traffic classification.
