  • Development of application, software, computing system in the above area
Research field

Wide-area Distributed Computing

I have studied on computing technology that leverages computational resources over multi-domains represented by Grid and Cloud computing. I put my focus on general system infrastructure technologies for wide-area computing technology.

See detail

Large-scale visualization technology

I have focued on large-scale visualization technology leveraging TDW (Tiled Display Wall).
In particualr, visualization technology and technique using network is focused. Recently, SDN (Software-Defined Networking) is focused.

High-performance computing technology

I have been researching computing technologies and techniques using cross-domain computational resources represented by Grid and Cloud Computing. I have also focused on the general system infrastructure for realizing wide-area distributed computing.

See detail.

e-Science

By evaluating wide-area distributed computing, high-performance computing, and visualization technologies in the practical e-Science research, I have attempted to contribute to both computer science and e-Science through the verification of usefulness and practicality of such technologies.
