Measurement Science for Complex Information Systems:
Develop modeling and analysis methods to understand relationships among
parameters and responses in large distributed systems, such as
communications networks, computing grids and service-oriented
architectures. Develop and refine methods to model large systems in
computationally feasible form, where the number of system variables and
responses become manageable. Construct abstract Markov models simulating
large systems, and subject those models to perturbation-analysis to
predict potential failure modes. Develop an analytical framework to
understand relationships among pricing, admission control and scheduling
for resource allocation in computing clusters. Develop interactive
software for visualizing voluminous, multidimensional data sets
generated from simulating large distributed systems. Characterize the
limitations of existing fluid-approximation models of communications
networks and construct improved analytical models of such networks.
Keywords: cluster analysis, correlation analysis, fluid-flow modeling,
interactive multidiminesional data analysis, Markov modeling, mean-field
approximation, mesoscopic modeling, orthogonal fractional factorial
design, perturbation analysis, principal components analysis,
sensitivity analysis, state-space reduction |
