Research
My research interests lie in the areas of software engineering, distributed computing, and fault-tolerant systems. The primary thrust of my work is in building technologies that enable the construction of scalable, correct software. In realizing this ob jective, I work at two levels --- enterprise computing technologies such as Java and C#, and wireless sensor networks. The reasoning behind this two-pronged approach is that the two (considerably different) platforms expose subtly different issues when it comes to solving problems that look similar at first glance.
Current Projects
- Failure detection and containment in dynamic wireless sensor networks.
- Predictable monitoring of networked sensor-actuator systems.
- Behavioral models for software containers.
- Software architecture for wireless mote network applications.
