Research Domains

The Laboratory's current research falls into eight principal domains: Service-Oriented Programming, Service-Oriented Computing Environment, Service-Oriented Programming Development Tools, Service-Federated Assurance and Security, Self-Aware Service Federations, Autonomic Service Federations, and Service Federated Intergrids.
  1. Service-Oriented Programming
    Mission: To address research issues in utilizing network objects to execute a network-centric and reliable control strategy of metaprograms.
     
  2. Service-Oriented Computing Environments
    (Service-Oriented Metaoperating Systems)
    Mission: To develop architectural innovations by creating infrastructure service providers to enable federated file system, execution, provisioning, and monitoring of service-oriented metaprograms.
     
  3. Service-Oriented Programming Development Tools
    Mission: To improve service oriented programming and software deployment by improving the methods used to create, test, debug and monitor execution of such programs.
     
  4. Service Federated Assurance and Security
    Mission: To study authentication, authorization, confidentiality, accountability methodologies to secure service-oriented environments (metacomputers).
     
  5. Self-Aware Service Federations
    Mission: To develop technology that facilitates self-awareness of virtual, intelligent service federations. To build and investigate high-performance, practical self-healing software systems for service-federated environments.
     
  6. Autonomic Service Federations
    Mission: To conduct research that combines computer science and biology and facilitates self-management of very complex service-federated environments.
     
  7. Service Intergrids
    Mission: To integrate the federated-object-oriented services to its full potential by developing common integrating frameworks to foster integration, evolution of both compute grids and metacompute grids, and ensure their interoperability.
     
  8. Metacomputing Multidisciplinary Analysis and Optimization (MMAO)
    Mission: To develop a framework and relevant generic service providers with flexible service-oriented proxying and interactive exertion-oriented programming for MMAO.
