Biographical Sketch
arek Abdelzaher received his Ph.D. in computer
science at the University of
Michigan in 1999. He joined the Department of Computer Science at
the University of Virginia in
August of 1999. He is the author or co-author of 20 papers.
Research
arek's research interests include middleware, OS, and networking solutions for providing performance-guaranteed services in distributed environments, both in embedded systems and on the Internet. His research today lies primarily with investigating the architecture of future QoS-sensitive high performance services and communication mechanisms that allow features such as isolation between hosted services, performance differentiation, adaptation to load conditions, and attainment of QoS guarantees. He has investigated the implications of such architectural requirements on communication subsystem design and the OS kernel. He has also investigated possible middleware solutions to facilitate deployment in the short term.
