I (vincent matossian) graduated with a PhD degree from the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at Rutgers University in October 2007.

My research interest is in distributed systems, more specifically overlay network topologies and complex adaptive systems, with applications to distributed search, routing, and modalities of information access and distribution.

Research Projects

Topos
Self-Organizing Overlay Topologies
pawn
Peer-to-Peer messaging substrate to decouple monolithic applications into distributed components
AutoMate
Building Autonomic Computing software systems with self-* capabilities
p2p
Investigation on the semantics and performance of several overlay routing algorithms (Chord, Pastry, and CAN)
Meteor
A content-based distributed hashtable for overlay networks.
discover DISCOVER
Computational collaboratory for runtime monitoring and steering of high performance scientific applications
Decad*nce
A "true" p2p distributed computing environment where every participant can send requests for computation while providing compute time for others.
