`
`Professional Outreach
`
`Technical consulting to automotive (system design) and aerospace (avionics) industries.
`
`I have developed and documented the effect of new design approaches for software tools for
`automotive control. I have also written reports for the FAA that assess the correctness of design
`and engineering approaches for communication and avionics systems for aerospace industries.
`
`Pre-Litigation and Litigation Consulting for patent and other IP-related cases (switch design, net-
`work services, VoIP, smartphones, Web software, operating systems, middleware, industrial control
`software).
`
`I have written reports to support pre-litigation analysis in the area of network switch design. I have
`been retained as expert witness for counter-infringement analysis in the area of network services.
`I have written reports on validity and performed claim-tree analysis in the area of VoIP. I have
`written reports to support claim construction for VoIP. I have also consulted in the area of wireless
`messaging and e-mail services (primarily on prior art).
`I have reverse engineered large software
`systems for infringement analysis.
`I have been retained as expert witness on infringement and
`validity analysis in the area of operating systems. I have given tutorials in the area of middleware,
`software systems, and web technology. I have participated in claim construction and in Markman
`hearings. I have worked with the following firms:

`Student Feedback
`
`“Dr. Bettati is a fantastic instructor, possibly the best I have had since I’ve been at Texas
`A&M; Dr. Bettati is really gifted when it comes to explaining material, A++ here; Overall the
`best course at Texas A&M; learned more here than in any other CS course; toughest course I
`have taken at tamu but probably the most practical and interesting; presented all material with
`enthusiasm; made me want to learn the material; very well prepared; explains difficult concepts
`well; inspiring.”
