Current Highlights

Our Workshop proposal for WoSAR 2010 has been accepted. WoSAR'10 will be colocated with ISSRE'10, November 1-4, 2010, San Jose, CA, USA.

Together with Alberto Avritzer, Aad van Moorsel and Manfred Reitenspiess I am organising a Dagstuhl Seminar on Resilience Assessment and Evaluation, July 18-23, 2010.

I will give a lecture on Performance and Security Tradeoff at the 10th International School on Formal Methods for the Design of Computer, Communication and Software Systems: Quantitative Aspects of Programming Languages, Bertinoro, (Italy), 21-26 June 2010.

Research Interests

Dependability and fault-tolerance of service-based systems
Measurement and evaluation of software and Internet performance and dependability
Stochastic models for evaluating software and Internet performance
Performance and Security trade-off
Stochastic Models for restart, checkpointing and rejuvenation
Self-* systems
Quality of Service in wireless networks
Petri Nets (in particular Fluid Petri Nets)

I am head of the Dependability Modelling (sub-)group

Working on dependability of service-oriented architectures (web services) with

Philipp Reinecke
Alexandra Danilkina
Sonja Pins

and on stochastic models for restart with Philipp Reinecke and Aad van Moorsel.

In the past at Humboldt University I was working on QoS in wireless LANs with

Recently, I cooperate with highstreet technologies carrying out ns-2 simulations of special features in wireless protocols.
