About me
Research Staff Member
Research lab: Almaden Research Center
I am a Research Staff Member at the IBM Almaden Research Center, which I joined in 2003 after completing my PhD at Carnegie Mellon University. I'm currently one of the technical leaders for Virtual Mission Bus (VMB) project, which is an effort to develop a middleware system for supporting distributed, adaptive, hard real-time applications. Such applications have requirements that go beyond those of traditional real-time systems: accommodation of a dynamic set of applications, autonomous adaptation as application requirements and system resources change, and security between applications from different organization. The VMB provides the essential basic services to support these applications and the tools for building more complex services, all while while keeping the middleware kernel minimal enough for embedded system use.
In general, my research interests include: lightweight distributed consistency control, secure group membership protocols, and algorithms for automatic resource reservation and management.
