Research

My research interests are in distributed computing with focus on pervasive and ubiquitous computing, agent-based systems, object-based software composition frameworks, system security, and fault-tolerant computing.

My current research focus is on programming environments and system architectures for pervasive computing applications, and policy-based engineering of large-scale agent-based system architectures for distributed computing. My work in the area of pervasive computing is investigating  programming paradigms, middleware architectures and services, security issues, and exception handling mechanisms for such applications. In the area of agent-based software engineering, I am investigating policy based techniques for autonomic composition, configuration and management of large-scale agent systems.

These research activities are supported by my past work on the development of the Ajanta system, a platform for programming secure mobile agent based distributed applications over the Internet.
