I recognize that not everyone finds programming difficult. Indeed, many of my peers seem to find programming very easy, and positively revel in being able to master the complexity of an application in a write-only programming language that makes full use of a large set of support libraries to execute a complicated distributed algorithm. My research is not directed at these people. It is instead...

Shaping the Research Agenda

Despite the global efforts in research, training, and control over the years, tropical diseases remain a major cause of ill-health in poor populations. An estimated 2.7 billion people living on less than US$2 per day, in both rural and impoverished urban areas of low-income countries, are affected [1,2]. Thirteen neglected tropical diseases alone account for 534,000 deaths each year and the los...

Research Summary and Agenda

My research interests cover several areas of building and measuring complex systems, including operating systems, distributed systems, compilers, and networks. The core theme of my research is harnessing the enormous potential for large-scale computing environments, such as workstation clusters and Internet service platforms. My research often takes the approach of reevaluating programming inte...

Research Statement and Agenda

The past decade has seen tremendous growth in both the volume of data and the complexity of analyses that organizations want to perform. Increasingly, these analyses are not performed by experienced database administrators but by domain experts that need simple ways to process their data without worrying about scalability and management limitations. To be useful for these users, new systems mus...
