About Me

I am a scientist and a project manager in the Utility Infrastructure Management department (UIM) in the Internet Systems and Storage Lab (ISSL) of HP Labs. I've been here since September 1998.

Currently I am focusing on the standardization effort in the services deployment space, under the umbrella of GGF. The effort is called Configuration Description, Deployment, and Lifecycle Management (CDDLM)

At the kernel internals group, I was leading development of the operating system internals (e.g. global memory management, global name service, global locks, etc.) for the multi computer system. We then explored Memory Failures Recovery (MFR). Currently we are exploring the area of pervasive computing (Web page to arrive soon). We are actively recruiting, see an ad for open positions in our group. If you want to apply for regular or temporary positions, please follow the instructions on how to apply.

Earlier I worked on various projects (in various institutions, continents and countries), such as:

  • Mach microkernel and Mobile Objects and Agents (MOA) at OSF (later Open Group) RI, Cambridge, MA (1994-1998)
  • Task migration and load distribution on top of Mach at University of Kaiserslautern, Germany, also my late PhD thesis (1991-1994)
  • UNIX and real-time operating systems at Institute "Mihajlo Pupin" in Belgrade, Yugoslavia (1983-1991)

My Interests

  • pervasive computing,
  • operating systems,
  • architecture of distributed and multiprocessor systems,
  • agent systems and aplications,
  • mobile objects and agents,
  • communication systems,
  • process migration,
  • load distribution, and
  • real-time.

Activities

I have been active in the IEEE Technical Activities Board. In particular, I have been involved in the following technical committees: I was also on the editorial board of the IEEE Concurrency, where I have conducted interviews on various topics, such as: Currently, I am on the editorial boad of the new IEEE on-line Magazine, Distributed Systems, where I edit the operating systems department. I also conducted an interview with Fred Schneider on the topic of distributed computing. I was program chair of the First Workshop on Industrial Experiences with Systems Software (WIESS) and the first Symposium on Agent Systems and Applications and the third Workshop on Mobile Agents (ASA/MA'99).
