MESSIAHS

Mechanisms Effecting Scheduling Support in Autonomous, Heterogeneous Systems (MESSIAHS). The HCW '95 paper is a succint overview of the system. More details on the MESSIAHS Interface Language (MIL) can be found in papers that appeared in Scientific Programming and the the 1994 HICSS conference. If you're feeling extremely masochistic, my Ph.D. dissertation is also available.

Legion

Legion Project
Legion is software for what I used to call wide-area distributed computing, which the masses then called metacomputing. Nowadays it's called grid computing. It's still the idea of tying together multiple autonomous administrative domains into a single system.

When I was with the Legion project, I led the development of its resource management subsystem. Two publications about this appeared in the journal Future Generation Computing Systems and at the IPDPS Workshop on Job Scheduling Strategies for Parallel Processing.

I've also been author or co-author on other Legion papers, including an updated description of the security model that appeared in Future Generation Computing Systems, and a more implementation-oriented Legion security paper that appeared in HPCN '99.
