Eve M. Schooler
Biography
The vision and leadership of Stephen L. Casner and Eve M. Schooler in developing multimedia standards and protocols for the Internet have driven the success of IP-based telephony, video streaming, and multimedia conferencing we take for granted today. Schooler played a key role in the development and implementation of early multimedia signaling protocols. She also co-founded the IETF’s Multiparty Multimedia Session Control (MMUSIC) Working Group. Under her leadership, this group developed some of the most influential multimedia signaling standards, including the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), of which she is a co-author; the Session Description Protocol (SDP); and the Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP). RTP and SIP provide the foundation for media transport and signaling in many real-time multimedia applications and services. Casner and Schooler's work on early prototype systems was instrumental in demonstrating the feasibility of packet audio and video, multicast teleconferencing and radio, IPTV, and even distributed music performance across the Internet.
An IEEE Senior Member, Schooler is a Principal Engineer and Director of Emerging IoT Networks with Intel, Santa Clara, CA, USA.
