William Voorsluys’s Summary

I'm a PhD student carrying out my research in the area of resource allocation on virtual machine enabled platforms. Virtual machines can be considered as the perfect fit to tackle many limitations that have so far prevented delivering compute power as an utility. Most cloud computing platforms aim at this reality and rely on VMs. My broad goal is to investigate new resource allocation mechanisms for VM-enabled platforms.

Previously I have worked with Grid Computing in the OurGrid project (http://www.ourgrid.org). I have played the roles of lead developer and researcher.

I have completed my masters by research in distributed computing from the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil.
