We are always lloking for enthusiastic
and otivated students willing to work on the distributed systems area.
Contact me via email or stop by my office to talk about possible topics
of work in the context of research project and for theses proposals!
I am currently involved in the following projects:
- CRDT / Concordant (since 2008,
collaboration with INRIA, LORIA, U. Minho, partially supported by a
Google Research Award, Amazon Awars). CRDTs are data types for which all concurrent
operations commute. In the context of this research, we have proposed
CRDTs as a way to simplify data replication for collaborative editing.
We are currently researching the use of the same approach for managing
data in cloud computing environments. These efforts are currently
focused in two inter-related projects:
- SwiftCloud - storage
solutions for cloud environments;
- SwiftComp - computation
solutions for cloud environments.
- Byzantium
(since 2008, collaboration with INESC/Id, MPI-SWS). The
goal of this project is to design an efficient database system that
tolerates byzantine faults.
- Repcomp (since 2010,
collaboration with INESC/Id). The goal of this project is to
investigate the use of replicated software components in a program, as
a way to improve either reliability or performance.
- SynergyVM (approved 2010,
collaboration with INESC/Id). The goal of this project is to design a
system that allows programmers to use the transactional paradigm for
programming applications that run in clusters of multi-core computers.
