Research Experience:
My current research plan is to look at scalable middleware services for next-generation network applications, focusing on resource discovery.
While the number of Internet-based applications, whether information providers (like web servers) or specialized computations (problem solvers like NetSolve and NEOS) is growing fast, a new problem arises: how to locate resources (computers, storage systems, applications, instruments, etc.). A resource discovery mechanism should help users find resources in concordance with a policy specified independently by the user (as a request) and by the service provider (as an offer). The main challenges in designing a resource discovery mechanism are scalability (because of the difficult to predict, large number of users and resources) and heterogeneity (various resources, with different owners and therefore different policies).
My goal is to explore the design alternatives of a very scalable resource discovery protocol, suitable for millions of heterogeneous entities, with various policies and needs.
