Current research interests focus on software for any large-scale and/or distributed computing environment, especially in relation to resource management with multiple constraints and diverse optimization objectives and trade-offs. Dr Sakellariou would be happy to discuss research projects/proposals or supervise PhD projects particularly in relation to these topics.
