Biography

Ellen W. Zegura received the B.S. degree in Computer Science (1987), the B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering (1987), the M.S. degree in Computer Science (1990) and the D.Sc. in Computer Science (1993) all from Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri. Her graduate research involved the analysis of switching networks to support multipoint and multirate communication. This work included the development of analytic models to evaluate blocking probability in multipoint switching topologies, as well as the development and application of a methodology for comparing switch architectures using a model of cost that is closely coupled to implementation technologies.

Her current interest is in wide-area networking support for complex applications. In particular, the projects focus on dealing with fluctuations in wide-area performance that occur on a time scale that is slow enough to be tractable, yet fast enough to require dynamic, on-line solutions. The complexity in applications may come, for example, from multi-stream interactions, widely varying quality of service requirements, or dynamic multicast session membership. The solutions involve both network architectures and algorithms, as well as end-to-end solutions. More detail on particular projects may be found below.
