Research interests
At present, I am investigating all aspects of policy-based
management systems. Policy-based management systems (or simply,
the policy middleware) provides the foundation for the management of
IT infrastructure by the means of declarative policies. My research
work includes the architecture and software design of policy systems,
policy information models, languages, evaluation engines, and
automated
analysis of policies.
I have also been working on the side on privacy and
security of digital communications. This work includes analyzing
electromagnetic radiation emminating from smart cards. The
electromagnetic radiation can compromise the security of a computing
device such as the smart cards. I am also interested in precisely
quatifying privacy in data mining algorithms and anonymity systems. I
wish I could devote more time to privacy and security issues in
digital
communications, but my work in policy technologies keeps me busy.
In past, I have worked on modelling and evaluating different
components of Internet infrastructure. In particular, I
worked in finding out what caused download delays when surfing the
Internet and how this delay could be minimized. I have worked on designing systems
and algorithms for content distribution networks which can be used
to speed up surfing on the web. My doctoral thesis was in the
Information
Theory where I analyzed the turbo decoding algorithm and the
generalized
minimum distance decoding algorithm. Before that, I worked on magnetic
recording systems for my master's thesis.
