Research Interests
My primary research interests are distributed and peer-to-peer computing, autonomic computing, self-organizing and complex adaptive systems. I'm particularly interested in fault tolerance and measurement issues of systems.
My goal is to develop protocols, high-level programming abstractions and middleware environments that help alleviate development effort for large-scale distributed systems that aim to tolerate failures and dynamism.
My Ph.D. dissertation is about autonomous replication management based on concepts such as policy-based management, self-configuration and self-healing. These concepts have been implemented on top of a group communication system called Jgroup/ARM.
