Ph.D. in Computer Science Seeking a postdoctoral position in parallel and distributed systems R ESEARCH T HEMES Keywords

• Parallel and distributed systems, task scheduling, uncertainty, statistics, probability.

Description

• My principal research interests lie in the field of multicriteria task scheduling under uncertainties. I am particularly interested in using probabilistic tools for tackling uncertainties that come either from the application (stochastic specification of the task durations), the platform (failures) or the user (malicious behaviors). The main contributions proposed in the following publications cover algorithms, heuristics or metaheuristics.
