Short Bio
Jun Suzuki received a Ph.D. in computer science from Keio University, Japan, in 2001. He joined the University of Massachusetts, Boston in 2004, where he is currently an assistant professor of computer science. From 2001 to 2004, he was with the School of Information and Computer Science, the University of California, Irvine (UCI), as a postdoctoral research fellow. Before joining UCI, he was with Object Management Group Japan, Inc., as Technical Director. His research interests include autonomous adaptive distributed systems, wireless sensor networks, biologically-inspired software designs and model-driven software/performance engineering. In these areas, he has authored two books and published over 100 refereed papers including seven award papers. He has chaired or co-chaired four conferences including ICSOC'09, and served on program committees for over 60 conferences including AINA, ICCCN, SECON, SASO, CEC, BIOSIGNALS and BIONETICS. He is an active participant and contributor in ISO SC7/WG19 and Object Management Group, Super Distributed Objects SIG. He is a member of IEEE and ACM.
Research Interests
I am interested in fundamental research and empirical analysis in distributed network computing. My long-term research goal is to make network systems more autonomous, scalable, adaptive, survivable and easier to develop. I am particularly attracted to the research issues that cross the boundaries among distributed computing, software engineering and artificial intelligence. My current research interests include the following topics.
- Autonomous, adaptive and survivable distributed systems
- Middleware design, implementation and evaluation
- Biologically-inspired (e.g. immune, genetic and developmental) network systems design
- Evolutionary computing
- Model-driven software and performance engineering
- Service-oriented computing
- Object-oriented and aspect-oriented programming
- Domain-specific languages and modeling
- Object-oriented modeling, software patterns and frameworks
Research Opportunities
Several research oopportunities are available for highly-qualified postdoctoral fellows, graduate students and undergraduate students.
