Research projects at DiscoLab, Rutgers University

Highly available Internet Database Services over existing support for

migratory TCP

Implemented support for migration for continued execution of a series of

transactions while preserving ACID properties and deterministic execution.

Modified PostgreSQL, an open source database to achieve this

Smart Messages – A computing model for Networks of Embedded Systems

Implemented data and method call stack process migration of single threaded

Java applications over Sun’s KVM, a Java Virtual Machine designed for mobile

devices in adhoc networks with no support for IP routing. Also implemented

a simple tag space scheme for content based routing based on tag naming

Other projects implemented in C

A user level thread library using lottery scheduling

A distributed file server with two designs, one with a centralized controller

handling file access requests and distributing them across the server machines,

another design in which the file servers exchange messages to load balancing,

replication and coherence decisions and to distribute file access requests

Implemented TCP-like reliability, flow control and congestion control mechanism

over unreliable byte stream UDP. The server operates in different modes, unreliable,

stop and wait retransmission, slow start, linear increase, and finally a

combination of slow start and linear increase

A DNS client implemented adhering to DNS RFC

Network measurements simulating Jean Bolot’s internet measurements, masuring

the bandwidth of bottleneck link in the network, expected packet size of cross-traffic

and round-trip times, using a controlled environment in NS-2
