...

I am an assistant professor at University of Amsterdam (UvA). I lead a team on “Quality Critical Distributed Computing” in the context of Multiscale Networked Systems (MNS) research group, Informatics Institute (IvI). My research focuses on innovative programming and control models for quality critical systems on programmable infrastructures such as Clouds, Edges, and Software Defined Networking using optimization, semantic linking, blockchain, and artificial intelligence technologies. I am specifically interested in big data management, infrastructure optimization for data-intensive applications, and trustworthy service level agreements. 

Since 2014, I have obtained more than 3M euro funding from the EU H2020 research program to support my research activities in UvA. I coordinated the project SWITCH (Software Workbench for interactive time-critical and highly self-adaptive cloud applications). I led the Data for Science theme in the environmental science cluster project ENVRI^PLUS, and the technical development work package in its follow up project ENVRI-FAIR. I also lead the UvA effort in ARTICONF, CLARIFY, BLUECLOUD, and VRE4EIC projects. I am also the technical manager of the LifeWatch ERIC Virtual Lab & Innovation Centre (VLIC) in Amsterdam.

Research: Quality Critical Applications on Programmable Infrastructures                                                                             

Home

In both scientific and industrial contexts, there are distributed application systems which

1.     have very high business value (e.g., on-demand business collaboration platforms), or social impact (e.g., for early warning of disasters); and

2.     have very critical requirements for Quality of Service (QoS) (e.g., tsunami emergency response time) or quality of experience (QoE) (e.g., delivery of ultra-high definition television or collaborative business interactions); but

3.     are very difficult to develop and operate because of their distributed nature and the high requirements for the runtime environment, and in particular, the sophisticated optimization mechanisms needed for developing and integrating the system components.

Cloud environments provide virtualized, elastic, controllable, and quality on-demand services for supporting complex application systems. However, developing, deploying, and executing quality-critical applications in programmable infrastructure is still difficult and challenging due to a lack of effective programming and control mechanisms.

My research interests have revolved around modeling, developing, controlling, and optimizing such Distributed Quality-Critical Systems. I specifically focus on novel models for programming, executing, and optimizing such applications on programmable infrastructures, such as Cloud- and software-defined networking technologies. My basic approach is to use autonomous agent technologies to decompose system complexity, to develop distributed control and optimization intelligence by combining both application logic and infrastructure programmability, and to investigate self-adaptable cooperative control models for Cloud-based quality-critical systems.
