Parallel programs, especially those with truly critical time (speed) requirements, are difficult to design. The process is extremely error-prone, tedious and time-consuming. The first goal of Dr. Nicolau’s work is to design and implement a system of program transformations that support the semi-automatic (and eventually fully-automatic) exploitation of substantially all the parallelism available in a given program.
Kwei-Jay Lin is a Professor Emeritus, and is interested in Service-Oriented Computing and Applications, and specifically, the development of efficient, flexible and accountable services on the web. He is involved in two major research efforts at UCI: LLAMA and QCWS. The LLAMA (inteLLigent Accountability Middleware Architecture) project is a powerful, effective, and efficient SOA middleware framework to support service process composition, run-time monitoring, problem analysis, and continual process reconfiguration and optimization. It includes the infrastructure to continuously monitor services within an active service workflow, and dynamically adapt by reconfiguring those problematic or underperforming services.
Fadi Kurdahi is the CECS Director and a Research Professor at University of California, Irvine. His research interests include: Early estimation and exploration in hardware/software co-design of embedded systems, Design methodology of large scale systems, Low-power, process-aware Systems-on-Chip design, Mobile and portable wireless and multimedia systems, Reconfigurable computing, and Software-defined Radio.
Professor Krichmar is currently a professor in the Department of Cognitive Sciences and the Department of Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine. His research interests include neurorobotics, embodied cognition, biologically plausible models of learning and memory, and the effect of neural architecture on neural function.
