HONORS/AFFILIATIONS

·         Lanka Software Foundation Fellowship (Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) grant) – 2004-2005

·         Committer for Apache Sandesha, Apache Axis2 and Apache Synapse -2004 –present

·         Member of the Project Management Committee for Apache Sandesha -2004 –present

RESEARCH INTERESTS

·         Composable Data Analysis using Grid Technology

·         Message Oriented Middleware (MOM), Service Orchestration and Web Services

RELATED EXPERIENCE

            Research

                Research Assistant, Community Grid Labs, Indiana University Bloomington, Indiana

                August 2005 –present

·         Integration of Clarens Server, ROOT Analysis Framework and Naradabrokering to provide a collaborative framework for analyzing distributed data, especially the data from particle physics experiments. The project is still in work-in-progress. However, a proof of concept implementation/integration is completed.

·         Developed C++ and C++/JNI based Clients for Naradabrokering to facilitate the integration of Clarens Server from Caltech with Naradabrokering and to facilitate the utilization of Naradabrokering’s publish/subscribe messaging capabilities by C++ based applications.

·         Developed a transport-independent scheme for tracking the availability of entities in distributed systems using Naradabrokering messaging substrate. The scheme enforces the authorized generation and consumption of traces (encapsulating entity availability).

·         Implemented the message bridge to connect IBM Websphere and Naradabrokering.

·         Performance testing of various Multi-core chips using Apache Axis2 on Jakarta Tomcat server as the test application.
