BMOCHOCK@nd.edu 1. Operating Systems in a Low-Power Environment 2. Scheduling (Possibly Agent-Based) for distributed systems 3. Machine Learning (I have a very limited knowlege on this topic, but the NUMA paper with alterable parameters peaked my interest) ----------- William Acosta - Dynamic adaptability, modification, and/or tuning of OS functionality/performance - Distributed OS - Microkernel Architectures - Mobile OS ----------- Keefe Roedersheimer kroed@fuse.net The analysis of performance and energy consumption both seem interesting so far. I'm not particularly attached to any idea right now. I work best and am most interested in relatively abstract things, analysis and anything that leans in the mathematical direction. --------- Tim (tschoenh@nd.edu) Distributed Operating Systems - perhaps considering security issues or load balancing/process migration MicroKernel OS - Don't know much about them, seems like an interesting idea Clusters - Working with heterogeneous systems, load balancing, concurrency issues -------- Praveen Kalla project options : 1. compression before disk write (in disk buffers..) 2. ipaq power analysis (OS and application componenets ..) 3. wireless application power analysis (wrt to Os effects in ipaq, etc)
