Position
|
|
I am Nikolas' and Yiannis' father. I am also a professor in the Department of Computing
Science and Engineering at Chalmers University. I am the co-leader of the Distributed
Computing and Systems Research Group. Formerly I was with these institutes.

Research Interests
|
|
My current research interests
center on distributed/parallel computing and systems and
information visualization in general. More specifically my research
interests include:
- efficient and fault tolerant inter-process communication/coordination
mechanisms, with applications in: i) Lock-free programming and lock-free
data structures for multicore and many core systems, in particular on the PEPPHER project, the NOBLE library project and
the Euro-TM project. The WARPing, the Lockless-Spark98&Lockless-miniSPLASH2,
the NBmalloc, the
Dynamic Load Balancing on Graphics Processors projects were also
projects from the same general area. ii) Algorithms for multicore systems,
in particular in the GPU Quicksort project.
- Secure Network Services and
Communication.
- communication and data fusion
in mobile systems in particular on the MiNEMA programme and the DYNAMO action;
- visualization of distributed algorithms, files, networks and software, in
particular on the LYDIAN, the CausalViz, the CiteWiz and the TrustNeighborhoods projects.
- interactive visualization for reducing occlusion in 3D environments, in
particular on the PMorph and the "Image-Space Dynamic
Transparency" projects.
For more information please have a look at the page of the distributed
computing and systems research group, you can also look at the list of
my publications. A couple of news and
press releases from Chalmers (in Swedish) regarding our research can be
found here
and here.
