I am a professor at the
Department of Computer Science at the
Technion - Israel Institute of Technology.
My research interests include
caching,
network monitoring,
reliable distributed systems,
high-availability and fault-tolerance,
blockchains,
cloud computing,
wireless mobile ad hoc network,
andi
client/server Middleware.
If you need a good caching solution, I strongly advise to read our recent TinyLFU paper (integrated into the Caffeine Java cache) where we offer a novel cache management scheme, which yielded the best hit ratio among all schemes we have experimented with on all traces we have tested. And like all best things in life, it is totally free -- no royalties to pay and an open source reference implementation. It has been integreated into Cassandra , HBase , LinkedIn's feed , Infinispan , Accumulo , JIRA , Outbrain , Expedia/Hotels.com , Spring , neo4j , DGraph , Solr , Allegro , Amplidue , ScalaCache , SCaffeine , ratpack , finagle , druid.io , Mangocache , the recent go caching library called Ristretto and others.
Here is my view about the Blockchain Paradox and Legal Denial of Service (LDoS) attack (which seems to have materialized as I speculated) and why I think Non-PoW Non-PoS permissionless blockchains are unsafe .
Here is my list of Publications . Many of them are also available through DBLP. And here is what scholar.google.com thinks are my most cited papers . Also, you can check the list of conferences I am and have been involved with and the journals for which I refereed papers in my list of public activities.
A potential alternative carrier path for me?
I am a member of the executive board of the
Haifa Sailing club.
I previously spent a great year on sabbatical in
INRIA/IRISA,
Rennes,
France, visiting the
ADEPT project and working with
Michel Raynal
and
Michel Hurfin.
In the past, I also spent three years in the
Department of Computer Science
at
Cornell University
working with
Ken Birman and
Robbert Van Renesse
in the area of distributed systems, mainly on the
Horus and
Ensemble projects.
I received my D.Sc. from the
Department of Computer Science at the
Technion - Israel Institute of Technology.
My advisor was
Hagit Attiya, and my thesis title was
Consistency Conditions for Distributed Shared Memories.
My
Distributed Systems
course.
