Collaborated on definition and implementation of the Virtual Grid Execution System (vgES), part of the Virtual Grid Application Development Software (VGrADS) project. I helped defined the Virtual Grid Descriptive Language (vgDL) and the architecture for vgES. For vgES, I worked on vgMON, the component responsible for monitoring application expectations. I defined a second order annotation language Expectations Definition Language (eDL) that users can use in conjunction with vgDL to refine their expectations for the virtual grid.For my PhD dissertation research, I have shown that with the appropriate resource abstraction, application performance can be optimized and scheduling can be simplified in a distributed computing environment. Further, I proved that automatic resource specification generation is both feasible and necessary to optimize application performance in a cost-effective manner.
