Two decades of research across distributed systems, cloud economics, HPC / big-data convergence, and networking & security. Full record on Google Scholar.
Beyond peer-reviewed papers, my applied work fed directly into open cloud standards and open-source software:
Note: no IETF RFCs are published under this name — standards contributions are via OGF/OCCI and open-source, not the IETF.
The flagship CYCLOPS architecture — a micro-service framework for real-time metering, rating and billing of cloud services with a dynamic rule engine. Later commercialised as Cyclops Labs.
32 citationsA fault-tolerant billing back-end for federated mobile-cloud services — the design groundwork that fed into CYCLOPS.
4 citationsModels for turning shared network and cloud infrastructure into billable, monetizable services.
8 citationsA survey of metering and accounting problems introduced by serverless, edge and highly-elastic cloud models.
1 citationA widely-cited analysis of open-standards approaches (OCCI, OVF, CDMI) to cloud interoperability and vendor lock-in.
59 citationsDesign of the Contrail virtual execution platform and the hard problems of joining a multi-provider cloud federation.
39 citationsInfrastructure that spins up realistic large-scale test environments in the cloud — part of the ElasTest platform.
9 citationsSLA-aware deployment and management of OVF-packaged applications across federated clouds.
8 citationsThe architecture and trust model of the EU Contrail cloud platform.
7 citationsAn open platform for end-to-end testing of large distributed systems under realistic load and fault conditions.
Unified provisioning of distributed-computing platforms (Spark, Hadoop, etc.) as an on-demand cloud service.
Reference chapter surveying the cloud-standards landscape — OCCI, CIMI, CDMI, OVF and their adoption.
Bringing standardised (OCCI) interfaces to OpenStack for cross-cloud portability.
The LEXIS platform converging HPC, cloud and big data behind unified scientific workflows.
14 citationsArchitecture and use-case vision for 6G infrastructure — the most recent research thread.
4 citationsAn SDN/NFV service-function-chaining mechanism with a working prototype.
47 citationsMost-cited work — how dense small-cell networks enable smart-city services.
117 citationsElastic, on-demand content-delivery networks provisioned as a cloud service.
13 citationsHPC + extreme-data databases applied to precision viticulture — the bridge between my cloud research and agri-tech operating roles.
1 citationIncentive design for quality-of-service in peer-to-peer streaming.
7 citationsDoctoral thesis: a globally-scalable, distributed directory for discovering multicast sessions.
Analysis and design of an image-based (graphical) authentication scheme.
22 citationsAn overlay mechanism that prevents multicast address collisions at internet scale.
10 citationsGeo-tagging multicast sessions for smarter, location-aware discovery.
5 citationsA proposal for more adaptive, policy-aware ("gray") network behaviour.
