He has been working on our local MHS implementation and have experience with the design/implementtaion of the MTA. We considered that a possible topic for his dissertation could focus on an expert system to help the routing of the messages (selecting the best route or the least expensive way to send a message, for instance). Could some of you provide some feedback/new ideas/other suggestions about the topic selected/other topics to be considered?
