POWRE: Visiting Professorship: Systems Research in Adaptation

9720545埃利斯，卡拉·沙莱特，杜克大学POWRE：客座教授：适应中的系统研究这个项目支持1997年至1998学年作为华盛顿大学客座教授的国际和平组织的研究和教育活动。这项研究调查了适应在计算机系统中的作用，特别是当它应用于工作站集群和移动计算环境中的资源管理时。适应是系统研究中的一个新兴主题。在系统设计的所有级别上，通过应用明显不同的策略或技术来响应运行时行为和资源可用性的动态变化，可以实现潜在的性能优势。确定的研究计划实验性地解决了关于什么是最好的适应战略以及哪些基础设施机制对执行这些战略有用的问题。所采用的方法包括软件原型的设计、实现和测量，以评估各种适应方法。这一奖项预计将对发现新的适应技术以提高移动和集群计算性能、鼓励女学生进入并完成计算机科学高级学位课程以及推动PI作为研究和教育高级女性产生影响。

9720545 Ellis, Carla Schlatter Duke University POWRE: Visiting Professorship: Systems Research in Adaptation This project supports the research and educational activities of the PI as a Visiting Professor at the University of Washington for the 1997-98 academic year. The research investigates the role of adaptation in computer systems, particularly as it applies to resource management in clusters of workstations and environments for mobile computing. Adaptation is an emerging theme in systems research. At all levels of system design, there are potential performance benefits to be realized by responding to dynamic variations in runtime behavior and resource availability by applying distinctly different policies or techniques. The defined research plan experimentally addresses questions concerning what the best adaptation strategies are and what infrastructure mechanisms are useful for their implementation. The methods to be employed include design, implementation, and measurement of software prototypes to evaluate various adaptation approaches. This award is expected to have impact on the discovery of new adaptation techniques to improve mobile and cluster computing performance, encouragement of women students to enter and to complete advanced degree programs in Computer Science, and advancement the PI as a senior woman in research and education.
