Visualizing Mobile Software
-
Understanding mobile software whether on mobile devices or manifested in
mobile agents is a difficult task. This research addresses the fundamental
challenges in creating visualizing of this class of software.

Advanced Data Collection
-
Monitoring is too difficult to use. In part this is because of the
primitive state of data collection. This research investigates new
advanced techniques for data collection.
Participants
- Delbert Hart
- Everett Roper
Empirical Evaluation of Transactions
-
Transactions are a useful abstraction for monitoring and steering
distributed systems. The overall overhead associated with them has
been found to be low, in this project we will precisely characterize
the trade-offs inherent in the use of transactions versus physical
time.
Participants
- Delbert Hart

Secure Computing
-
Investigation of new techniques of protecting the confidentiality of computing in a distributed environment.

Opportunities
I currently do not have any open funded positions.
If I do have open funding positions I will update this page to reflect that.
If you are interested in research or working on a thesis then you may want
to consider taking one of the special topic classes that I periodically
offer.
If you send me an email about a position do not take it personally if I do
not respond. In order for me to do a good job supervising students I must
limit how many students I work with.
