Leading the Kernel Internals group. Responsible for the design and development of global memory management and resource management. Leading the Memory Failures Recovery (MFR) project, investigation of reliability of the ia-64 based systems: recovery support at the operating system, application and programming environment levels.

01/1994-present ____ Open Group Research Institute ____ Principal Research Engineer

Technical leader of the mobile objects and agents project: maintaining communication channels across migration; basic support for denial of service attacks based on extensive resource management; participation in the OMG Mobile Agent System Interoperability Facility Specification (MASIF), together with IBM, General Magic, GMD Focus and Crystaliz.

Responsible for writing several funding proposals, such as one that deals with agent ensembles capable of sustain ing chaotic behavior, and a few security related, dealing with computer forensics and CDSA.

Work on improving remote task creation and distributed shared memory for the Mach microkernel. Performance, fault tolerance and scalability were significantly improved. Taking part in design and evaluation of various operat ing system subsystems, such as distributed IPC, distributed memory management, etc.
