There are several ongoing projects in my lab (the Space Software Laboratory): The first is the development of a fault-tolerant and self-configuring distributed programming system and the second is providing space-platform software for the aerospace industry and the USAF Office of Scientific Research (space vehicles directorate). This work has included operating system software for the PnPSat, Maple I and II, RoadRunner, and the STRV-1d spacecraft as well as control software for the Advanced Instrument controller embedded in the DITP interceptor system. We are currently developing the software system for the Air Force Satellite Data Model – the framework Plug & Play software system to support the next three generations of USAF space research missions.
My research in this area is focused on the problems associated with fault tolerant plug & play or self-configuring distributed and parallel systems -- how can a system of many processors efficiently self-organize and work in parallel yet recover and continue in the event some of the nodes are lost. Other interests include the area of fault-tolerant distributed LINDA systems and the MOM system.
