Background:
Vaidy Sunderam has been a faculty member at Emory University since 1986
when he completed his formal education with a PhD in
Computer Science from the
University of Kent at Canterbury, England. Previously he
practiced real life structured programming in Algol at Burroughs,
subsequent to education received at
IIT, Bombay, and BITS, Pilani.
Publications List (DBLP is far better at
maintaining this than I could ever hope to be! Thanks Michael!)
Ongoing Projects
Cooperative failure resilient resource sharing via lightweight
middleware infrastructures is the primary focus of the
Distributed Computing Laboratory
and the H2O project.
The Harness system
is based on the concept of distributed virtual machines that are
reconfigurable in terms of both resources and software infrastructures.
Joint with Oak Ridge Labs, and the
University of Tennessee.
Janus is a recently
initiated effort to study robustness issues in wireless networks, particularly
in the context of group communications protocols.
General purpose collaboration (as opposed to domain-specific
collaboratories) is the focus of the
CCF project that enables workspace sharing and multimodal
communication.
And as if you hadnt had your fill of acronyms,
IceT investigates issues
in cooperative, unobtrusive metacomputing.
Other (past) efforts that are in steady state or still evoke
interest include:
PVM - Parallel Virtual Machine,
thePIOUS parallel I/O system,
and ACES, part of the
PaCS effort.
