Research
I have been working on building scalable Internet services, particularly digital libraries, by effectively managing available resources. My research focuses on dynamic content requests as meeting their computation and I/O requirements can be a challenge. The techniques I have developed include:
- Hierarchical server architecture to isolate processing of dynamic and static content requests and for recruiting idle resources.
- Server side caching and precomputing of dynamic content to reduce response time and to optimize resource allocation and capacity planning.
- Content caching and dynamic transcoding by proxy servers to minimize perceived Internet delay by users with low bandwidth connections and to adapt to capabilities of users devices.
