I
am Nikolas'
and Yiannis' father. I am also a professor in the Department of
Computing
Science and Engineering at
Chalmers University. I am the co-leader of the Distributed
Computing and Systems Research Group. Formerly I was with these institutes.

Research
Interests
|
|
My
current research interests center on distributed/parallel
computing and systems and information visualization in general.
More specifically my research
interests include:
- efficient and fault tolerant inter-process
communication/coordination mechanisms,
with applications in: i) distributed and parallel application software
systems,
ii) real-time and multiprocessor operating systems, iii) Lock-free
programming, in particular on the NOBLE, the WARPing, the (Lockless-Spark98,
and Lockless-miniSPLASH2)
and the NBmalloc
projects;
-communication and data fusion in mobile systems in particular on the MiNEMA programme and the DYNAMO
action;
-visualization of distributed algorithms, files, networks and
software, in particular on the LYDIAN,
the CausalViz,
the CiteWiz
and the TrustNeighborhoods
projects.
-interactive visualization for reducing occlussion in 3D
environments, in particular on the PMorph
and the "Image-Space Dynamic Transaprency" projects.
I am involved in the Chalmers
eScience initiative and the GU+Chalmers initiative on safety and
emergency management.
For more
information please have a look at the
page of the distributed computing and systems research group,
you can also look at the list of my publications.
A couple of news and press releases from Chalmers (in Swedish)
regarding our research can be found here
and here.
