Home	Brief Bio	Selected Publications

Dr. Kintala spent 23 years doing research and managing research in the family of Bell Labs at AT&T, Lucent and later Avaya, all in New Jersey. His last position was Vice President of Research Realization Center in Avaya Labs.  Some of the noteworthy accomplishments in Bell Labs are:

• a language and a software tool now called "Backtalk" with Dr. David Belanger in 80s; it is still used in AT&T for data analytics on very large databases,

• concepts and the components for Software-implemented Fault Tolerance and Software Rejuvenation with Dr. Yennun Huang in early 90s;  they are now widely used in industry and academia,

• a Layer 7 network switch based on Linux for web content distribution in his department in late 90s; it led to a new business group in Lucent, and

• an enterprise network monitoring system called Expertnet in early 2000s; it is still a key component in several products and services from Avaya.

While working in Bell Labs, he was also an Adjunct Professor and later Distinguished Industry Professor at Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey.  In Sept 2006, he went to Bangalore, India, to be the Director of Motorola Labs for two years and later in Yahoo! Labs for one year. He was responsible for research in mobile communications, system sciences and for academic relations with top technical institutes in India.  In August 2009, he returned to USA and joined NJIT as Professor and Director of Software Engineering in the Computer Science Department.

Dr. Kintala received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Penn State University and published 48 refereed research papers and received 6 US patents and a Smithsonian medal sponsored by Computer World in 1998. He was the General Chair of IEEE’s conference on Dependable Systems and Networks in Philadelphia in June’06, Acting Chair of IFIP WG1.2, Member of IFIP WG 10.4.
