   Interests

My research interests are mostly in the area of networked systems and encompass its following aspects: behavior of distributed entities, utilization of shared network resources, and alignment of network services with application needs. In particular, I am interested in transmission control, access control, link scheduling, buffer management and other means of effective network and system support for media streaming, bulk data transfer, and interactive delay-sensitive applications. Transgressing the traditional paradigm of networking protocol design, I investigate systems where numerous independent stakeholders are capable of behaving differently than specified by protocols. My objective is to design new network architectures and protocols that exhibit both high performance and robustness when exposed to realistic mixes of compliant behaviors, incidental failures, selfish manipulations, and malicious attacks by networked parties. Hence, my research interests span such diverse domains as network security, fault tolerance, multimedia, real-time systems, and performance evaluation. In choosing specific problems to work on, I favor those of fundamental nature so that my solutions will remain relevant over long time and for various future applications...
