[1] Frystyk Nielsen received a master's degree in Engineering of Telecommunications from Aalborg University in Denmark in August 1994.
[2] Frystyk Nielsen's Web work began at CERN, when he became Tim Berners-Lee's first graduate student, and shared an office with Håkon Wium Lie, the co-inventor of Cascading Style Sheets.
He joined the staff of W3C in March 1995, and continued work on HTTP and other Web protocol topics such as the Line Mode Browser and libwww.
An output of the incubation is DSSP, a SOAP-based protocol that augments the Web and HTTP model with structured data manipulation and event notifications.
By the end of 2005, the incubation moved into productization as Frystyk Nielsen and Chrysanthakopoulos joined the newly formed Microsoft Robotics Group.
