Statement of Research Interests

چکیده
Even though advances in hardware technologies are constantly pushing the limits of computational and storage resources, there are always applications whose computational demands exceed even the fastest technologies available. Hence, it has become critical to look into ways to aggregate efficiently distributed resources to benefit a single application. Achieving this vision requires being able to run applications on dynamic and heterogeneous environments such as grids and shared clusters. New challenges emerge in such environments, where performance variability is the rule and not the exception. The complexity lies not only in how to optimize large applications to run on a given set of distributed resources, but also in how to maintain the desired performance when the pool of resources may change anytime, the characteristics of the resources are variable, and the application’s demands vary during its life-time. Therefore, applications require the ability to dynamically reconfigure to adjust to the dynamics of the underlying resources. My primary research interest is facilitating the way in which scientific and engineering applications interact with dynamic execution environments and reconfigure themselves as needed. My work focuses on exploring methods and developing tools to allow for middleware-driven dynamic application reconfiguration in grid environments, with the goal of allowing applications to fully exploit the potential of such heterogeneous and rapidly evolving environments and facilitating this task to applications’ developers. I am also highly interested in interdisciplinary research, which bridges between computer science and disciplines in need for high-performance computing resources. Interdisciplinary research has revolutionized the way science is being done today and has opened up a vast range of opportunities for solving complex problems that scientists could not even think about solving a decade ago.

متن کاملJean Gourd Statement of Research
I believe that research and teaching collectively support one another. Research strengthens teaching; teaching sustains research. As a result, a lot of what drives my research is not only based on my personal interests within the field of computer science, but is also influenced by what I teach and, perhaps more specifically, the feedback that I receive from the students that I teach. I find th...
