Rebecca COPELAND

Rebecca COPELAND, PhD, Research Fellow

Rebecca Copeland is a research fellow at Telecom-SudParis, Institut Mines Telecom (France), working remotely from the UK. Her latest research is focused on new web-based calling, identity and trust management, collaborative service management (in Big Data and in smart energy), IoT analysis and intelligence, as well as applying social network technologies to service analysis and wireless sensor networks.

Rebecca has had a long career in IT engineering before moving to Telecom, when she joined Marconi UK and served for twelve years in various roles. She later founded an independent consultancy company (Core Viewpoint), and delivered strategic and technical expertise to Huawei (for six years), as well as BT CTO, Amdocs, BMW, LogicaCMG and ETSI (Sophia, France) and more. She also served as the technical editor of Connect-World ICT magazine and published blogs and technology analysis reports.

Rebecca has been a writer on leading edge technology for two decades. She has authored a successful book about IMS convergence and published several technical papers on evolving technologies. She is an accomplished speaker and has organized and chaired several workshops (ICIN, COMSAC, ETSI, BBWF). She has published a new paper in every ICIN conference but one since 2001. She is an active member of the Technical Program Committee of ICCCN, ICIN and Mobilware conferences.
