PERSONAL STAEMENT With intense interest in network communication, I am writing to apply for acceptance into your graduate program for advanced training. I first developed this interest in 1995,when I was still an undergraduate majoring in automatic control. I tried to write some database programs to be applied on a LAN That proved to be a tough job, but I successfully finished it, winning substantial monetary benefit for myself. But more importantly, I discovered where my true academic interest lay and made up my mind as to what kind of career I would pursue. The choice of network communication for a career was no accident for me. The National University of Defense Technology, where I did my undergraduate studies, offered many courses that helped to prepare me for network communication work, such as mathematics, computer hardware and computer software. To further ground myself in the field of network communication, I took a host of courses with the university''s Department of Computer Science, like networking technologies and TCP/IP transport. I also taught myself some typical NOS, such as Netware. Upon graduation in 1996, I have been working with BC (Beijing Center). My duties have ranged from monitoring channel error rate to utilizing and maintaining modem, including LAN management & maintenance and other things relevant to data communication. With the heavy working load, I have accumulated rich experience and developed a strong capacity for independent research. In 1997, I attended CNE training programs (Novell Certified Network Engineer). This training furthered my understanding of network communication and made my knowledge in this area more systematic. It also helped to clear up my confusions about optimizing LAN performance. I have therefore equipped myself with both adequate theoretical knowledge and rich working experiences in Data Communication. I believe I am able to complete the graduate study successfully. Graduate studies in network communication will not only satisfy my intellectual curiosity but also enable me to make significant contributions to this country''s National Information Networks, equivalent to America''s concept of information superhighway. As much expertise as I have now, I feel that I cannot yet play any leading role in state-of-the-art research. I need to upgrade myself further so as to keep pace with the new technologies that keep advancing. I am happy to have learned that your department offers some excellent courses in advanced technologies and that it provides opportunities for the full development of individual capacity and originality. I think it is one of the best places for me to undertake my graduate studies. Among the various subareas of network communication, I am especially interested in the following; (1) Network Communication, (2) Distribute Computing, and (3) Computer Architecture. Any of your suggestions about my specialty orientation will be highly appreciated.
