RESEARCH INTERESTSMy research interests primarily lie in the broad area of concurrent and distributed systems. I am predominantly concerned with investigating techniques that permit the automatic, or semi-automatic, identification and distribution of parallel tasks across available processors in a wide area network so as to maximise performance of the system, while minimising latency. I am interested in both static and dynamic techniques for the allocation of tasks to processors in a manner that allows the distribution strategy to be fault-tolerant and supportive of real-time


systems. Recently the term autonomic computing has been coined to cover much of what I have been researching within the Alchemy Project. This project focuses on the development of an agent-based framework to allow the effective utilisation of idle computing resources on a global scale. The system must operate on a wide variety of hardware and operating systems platforms, it must be secure, robust and fault tolerant, and above all, easy to use. It must not have a detrimental effect on the performance of the host machines onto which work has been allocated and must provide support for data and process migration to ensure good load balancing properties. The aim is to allow programmers to effortlessly distribute their programs by providing support for the “all care and no responsibility” approach to distribution. This principle states that the programmer is concerned with the efficiency and behaviour of their system (all care) but they do not necessarily want to manually ensure that these service levels are achieved (no responsibility). This project seeks to provide a framework by which applications can be distributed automatically in order to ensure increased system performance without an increased workload for the programmer.Recently I have been exploring autonomic computing mechanisms as applied to Java systems based on bytecode manipulation. The aim is to take the bytecode and transform it so that the system satisfies the properties of self-healing (robust and fault-tolerant), self organizing (aware of its environment), self optimizing (adaptive) and self protecting (secure). I am also interested in the debugging and tuning of distributed systems. Debugging and tuning such systems is difficult due to the inherent underlying non-determinism within such systems and the difficulty of measuring events without affecting the executing algorithms. Probes inserted into the executing system may mask the very phenomena to be measured by altering the timing of events. However, the gathering of such information with minimal program perturbation is crucial to determining program behaviour and displaying the observations in a graphical manner. The scalability and extension of such systems to provide new user-defined views is an area of research interest, along with techniques to automatically evaluate the program observations and to make tuning and debugging suggestions.Finally, I am interested in software engineering and programming languages. I am currently undertaking research into a two stack parsing technique which requires no back tracking to parse a broad range of grammars. The class of grammars handled include grammars that are LR(2). The technique is a polynomial time algorithm and generates parse tables that can be used in standard parser drivers that have undergone slight modification to employ two stacks instead of one.
