Interests: Resource management algorithms, performance modeling and analysis, discrete event simulation


Research Summary

The major emphasis of my research is on the design and evaluation of resource management policies. I have been involved in the development of new resource management policies for processing and data management systems. For both types of systems, general-purpose as well as real-time scheduling algorithms have been considered. My research involves performance studies of the different policies, with special emphasis on the interplay between the properties of the system and the performance of the policy. Since most of my performance studies employ simulation, I am interested in discrete event modeling and simulation techniques. I am currently in the process of implementing a simulation laboratory that is based on a novel simulation language. The laboratory includes data management utilities, visualization tools, and graphical interfaces.
