Lately:
I'm enjoying life in the Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) at NIST, and working
within the networking division and
collaborating with members of other divisions (software, mathematics and
statistics). At the lab, we have considerable freedom to formulate
problems and investigate solutions that promise the highest public return on
taxpayer investment. Most of my current
research focuses on global behavior in large-scale information systems. At
present, I am working on three things:
- modeling and analyzing emergent behavior in computational economies,
- assessing systems based on service-oriented architectures, and
- investigating collective behavior and emergence in large-scale
networks.
My research project ("Measurement Science for
Complex Information Systems") is midway through its life. We have
begun sharing preliminary results with some local organizations, including
America On-Line, George Mason University, NIST and the US Government's
Large-Scale Networking group. In May 2009, we will be briefing the
Internet Congestion-Control Research Group. We have also shared our
initial results with the Transport Modeling Research Group. We anticipate
issuing a fairly complete draft report on our work in the fall of 2009.
