Short Bio
Shicong is currently working toward the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science at Georgia Institute of Technology with Prof. Ling Liu. He also holds a M.S. and B.S. in Computer Science.
Shicong's research interests center around performance, scalability and security issues in large scale distributed systems, such as cloud computing systems.
Research
Resource-aware State Monitoring (05/2008 - present)
- Studied the problem of resource-aware monitoring planning for multiple state monitoring tasks. This problem widely exists in many large scale distributed systems.
- Developed REMO, a system performing efficient resource-aware state monitoring. REMO employs a set of techniques to adapt for different system and workload characteristics.
Efficient Window-based State Monitoring (04/2008-present)
- Identified the practicability issues of existing instantaneous monitoring approaches.
- Proposed ELM, an efficient, window based state monitoring approach with guaranteed correctness.
Scalable and Cost-Effective IPTV Grid (08/2007 - present)
- Proposed a scalable IPTV grid COIN consisting of IPTV regional stations. Compares with traditional IPTV network, COIN provides more reliable and scalable on-demand IPTV service without additional expensive hardware.
