 My research interests include operating systems, distributed and parallel systems, networking, and security.  Currently, with help from my advisor, <A HREF="http://www.cs.washington.edu/people/faculty/zahorjan.html">John Zahorjan</A>, I'm building system support for running soft real-time applications (e.g., visualization) on partially idle workstations in NOWs.  Recently, I completed a study on how runtime measurements of application characteristics can be used by a runtime system to minimize application execution time in uniprogrammed multiprocessors environments as well as by a system scheduler to make &quot;good&quot; global scheduling decisions in multiprogrammed multiprocessors environments. </p>
