My research interests are in scalable computer systems and Cloud computing. My recent work has focused on improving the performance and manageability of large-scale service-oriented systems and on flexible service design and delivery around such systems.
(11/2012): Submit a paper to the 13th IFIP International Conference on Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems (DAIS 2013), which will take place June 3-6, 2013, in Florence, Italy.
My research interests revolve around the following areas:
- Cloud infrastructure management services
- Scalable fault-tolerant systems and applications
- Methods for rapid prototyping of scalable applications based on interoperable distributed software components
Current projects:
I am currently participating in the following projects:
- The PaaSage FP7 project, which aims to deliver an open and integrated platform to support model based lifecycle management of Cloud applications.
- The CumuloNimbo FP7 project, which aims to obtain a highly scalable multi-tier transactional platform as a service (PaaS)
- International Master in Services Engineering or IMSE
- Seventh Advanced School on Service Oriented Computing, Hersonissos, Crete, July 1-6, 2013
Past projects:
- The ScaleWorks project (2009-2011) had the objective to improve the entire lifecycle of scalable distributed systems from design to engineering, prototyping, deployment, and operation, on contemporary cost-effective high-performance platforms
- The STREAM European collaborative project (2008-2011) contributed a scalable fault-tolerant stream processing platform supporting a variety of applications operating on streaming data
- The Galapagos project (2006-2009) at IBM Research contributed a model-based approach to distributed systems management with a focus on data and storage. Galapagos further contributed a built-to-order service engineering approach for enterprise IT discovery
- Research on the structure and performance of the Direct Access File System (2000-2004) received two best paper awards and helped shape industrial standardization efforts around direct-access (RDMA) interconnects
