Jun Suzuki’s Summary

I am interested in fundamental research and empirical analysis in the area of distributed network computing. My long-term research goal is to make network systems more autonomous, scalable and adaptive. I am particularly attracted to the research issues that cross the boundaries among distributed computing, artificial intelligence and software engineering.

I have been exploring the network architectures and distributed computing techniques that allow large-scale network systems to intelligently adapt to dynamic changes in the network without administrative interventions from/to users.
