My research interests are in the design, implementation and evaluation of distributed systems. My current research project, Chameleon , a continuation of DynaServer, studies infrastructure design for dynamic content serving that can automatically adapt to a changing environment and workload through self-managing, self-tuning and self-healing. The project goal is to provide ease of use, scalability, high availability and differentiated quality-of-service for a range of dynamic content services such as e-commerce, on-line bidding and massively multiplayer games.
