Research Topics
My current research works are concentrated on the Quality of Service (QoS) management of SOA and Cloud Computing. Cloud Computing is a technology that provides on-demand access to massively scalable resources in the field of Service Computing.
This new technology has emerged as a new paradigm for deploying, managing and offering services through a shared infrastructure. Maintaining QoS is important for this kind of service-based applications. It requires the ability to deal with permanently changing constraints at many levels (Infrastructure, Platform, Service). Repairing QoS degradation also requires the capacity of identifying its possible or actual sources and the capacity of reconfiguration decision and enforcement. Dealing with these issues is especially challenging for Cloud Computing-based application since the self-healing solution has to preserve the dynamic composition property and to be seamless for the service requesters, while being always usable under the different deployment constraints.
