Graduate Doctoral Research Assistant
University of Maryland Baltimore County
(Educational Institution; Higher Education industry)
September 2004 — July 2007 (2 years 11 months)
* Development of random-walk based algorithm for uniform sampling of data distributed in a peer-to-peer(P2P) network, modeling it as a Markov chain. Finding optimized random-walk length to minimize communication cost. Application of uniform sampling to mine frequent itemsets in a P2P network.
* Clustering in peer-to-peer network. Development of the first-ever K-means clustering algorithm for horizontally partitioned data in a peer-to-peer network that can achieve global clustering without exchange of any data and network-wise synchronization and work in a dynamic network with changing data and topology. -
