The BlueDrekar*(TM) project team in IBM Research is a part of the Pervasive Security and Networking Department led by Mahmoud
Naghshineh. The team has been an active participant of the Bluetooth**(TM)
Special Interest Group (SIG) since its inception in early 1998 and it has led IBM's involvement in the technical
activities of the SIG. It has contributed heavily to the development of the Bluetooth 1.0 specification. Team
members have served as editors for the HCI RS-232 transport and Service Discovery Application Profile
(SDAP) parts of the specification. The team is a strong advocate of the Bluetooth wireless technology both inside and outside IBM, where they have been
invited to speak about the technology on several occasions.

BlueDrekar*(TM)
middleware is IBM's new enabling software based on Bluetooth**(TM)
wireless technology allowing Bluetooth wireless devices - from phones to household appliances - to
reliably communicate with each other.
Bluetooth wireless technology is expected to emerge as a key enabler of
mobile and wireless Internet services. This technology will extend Internet connectivity over next generation cellular
technologies into a collection of locally-connected devices. IBM intends to seek certification from the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) to
demonstrate that the first version of the BlueDrekar middleware is compliant with Bluetooth Specifications.
