While in Paris, Professor Boutaba acted as the lead researcher for the University of Paris VI on the project entitled “Distributed Management of Networked Systems”, funded by the European Community as part of the Esprit-II program. This project involved several partners including Siemens (Germany), Harwell (UK), Telesystemes (France), Philips (Germany), MARI Research (UK), NTUA (Greece) and APM Technologies (UK). Raouf was also a lead researcher for the University of Versailles on the project “Integrated Communications Management,” funded by the European Community as part of the ACTS program. This project involved several partners including Cray Communications (UK), Alcatel ISR (France), Alpha SAI (Greece), Ascom Tech AG (Germany), Monetel (France), CET (Portugal), Electronik Centralen (Sweden), Nokia Corporation (Finland), ICS-Forth (Greece), NTUA (Greece), Univ. QMW (UK), University College London (UK) and others (Unipro Ltd., Univ. of Durham, GN Elmi AS, VTT).
After moving to Canada, he was the founding director of the telecommunications and distributed systems research unit at the computer science research institute of Montreal. Professor Boutaba launched and conducted multi-million dollar research and development projects with Canadian industrial partners, including Ericsson Research Canada, in the area of fault management in wireless networks; Eicon Technologies in the area of distributed management of computer networks; Positron Fiber Systems in the area of optical network management. He has also acted as a consultant for several companies including iXmedia, Bell Canada, Teleglobe, Stentor and MediaSoft in the areas of multimedia networking and network management. While at the University of Toronto, Professor Boutaba was involved in research projects funded by NORTEL Networks, Alcatel, Leitch technologies and General Datacom. After joining the School of Computer Science of the University of Waterloo in 1999, he conducted research with NORTEL Networks in the areas of self-managing networks and resource management in multimedia wireless networks. He also conducted research with Bell Canada in the area of broadband IP networks, with Alcatel in the area of network services architecture, with Cisco in the area of network virtulaization.
Professor Boutaba held Visiting Professor Positions at the University of Toronto (Canada), the University of Pierre et Marie Curie, the University of Versailles, ENST- Paris, Paris 13 and Paris 5 (France), and POSTECH (South Korea).
