My Research
Current Projects
High Performance Distributed Computing
Autonomic Computing environments (Autonomia) : Provides the application developers with all the tools required to specify the appropriate control and management schemes to maintain any quality of service requirement or application attribute/functionality (e.g., performance, fault, security, etc.) and the core autonomic middleware services to maintain the autonomic requirements of a wide range of network applications and services. Workflow based Grid-Computing for Problem Solving Environments : Developing a grid portal that provides runtime environments and task developing tools for large and complex computational science problems. Adaptive Computing Environments for high-performance distributed applications over Grid (ADViCE): A web-based parallel and distributed computing environment that allows users to develop large scale parallel and distributed applications using libraries of parallel/distributed function modules and run them across the networks over Grid Computing Environment. Peer-to-Peer distributed storage system : Developing an intelligent P2P file storage system which allows users to store and retrieve their data at any nodes which may be very secure nodes or un-secure nodes without worry about the security and reliability of their stored data. Peer-to-Peer messaging system : Developing an JXTA based message passing system for P2P applications
High Performance Communication Systems
Self-Healing Networks : Develop network management system which can detect some possible failures in a network system, and recover from failures to avoid catastrophic disasters such as being down entire network. Proactive runtime communication management agent (PROMA): PROMA is capable of proactively and adaptively configuring, and managing applications' communication environments by a predictive communication environment model that represents the communication requirements of applications and current network status. Adaptive Communication Systems (ACS) : ACS is an adaptive high performance message-passing system that provides programmable communication, control and management services to meet the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of applications. In addition, developed analytical performance models for adaptive group communication services that are aware of network and computing resources and application requirements.
