Bio
My research interests in investigating mobile algorithmic skeletons which use performance models to schedule live tasks based on run-time load information. I am exploring a mechanism to redistribute the run-time load by moving computations among processors to enhance the performance. Therefore, I am developing a generic algorithmic data-parallel skeleton, mobile skeleton, which is able to move worker tasks between processors in a heterogeneous architecture at run-time guided by a simple dynamic cost model.
Moreover, I am developing a novel load function which may be instantiated to generate predictable patterns of load across multiple processors. Furthermore, it can dynamically maintain a required load pattern in the presence of external real-time load changes, which makes it particularly suitable for experimentation on open systems.
In addition, I have interests in web development technologies, such as front-end and back-end, and HTML/Javascript based mobile applications.

Research Summary
My research interests in investigating data-parallel algorithmic skeletons that employ high-performance schedulers with performance models. I am exploring a mechanism to optimally distribute the runtime load by moving computations among processors to improve the performance. Therefore, I am developing a resource-aware algorithmic farm skeleton, mobile skeleton, which is able to move worker tasks between processors in a heterogeneous architecture in the presence of external workload.

Dynamic Farm Skeleton Task Allocation through Task Mobility
Conference Papers PDPTA'12, Volume 1, Issue 2, July 2012, Pages 226-232, LV, USA
Abstract
Parallel computing exploits the available resources in the network. The Grid has many resources, the location of which may be unknown. The Grid also has many users that can benefit from these resources, so the load is changeable and unpredictable. We need a mechanism to balance the load in the network locations during runtime by moving the computations between the network locations for better use of resources of the network. In this paper, we present a generic function by using algorithmic skeleton concept, a function called skeleton, that is able to move the task between processing items during runtime at the heterogeneous architecture; therefore, when network location is unable to complete the work, moving tasks will take place from source location by saving processing state to a new suitable location to continue processing the task.
Generating Artificial Load Patterns on Multi-Processor Platforms
Conference Papers IADIS'14, October 2014, Pages 77-84, Porto, Portugal
Abstract
It is desirable to evaluate system performance under repeatable conditions. Typically, parallel systems are evaluated on dedicated platforms with little or no external impact on load. For dynamic systems, however, such as those that adapt to changing conditions, it is necessary to generate both predictable and realistic patterns of load. Furthermore, on shared non-dedicated systems, there is a need to compensate for the unpredictable loads introduced by other users. We have developed a novel load function which may be instantiated to generate predictable patterns of load across multiple processors. Our function can both generate idealised load patterns, and record and playback real load patterns. Furthermore, it can dynamically maintain a required load pattern in the presence of external real-time load changes, which makes it particularly suitable for experimentation on shared systems. We discuss the design of the load function and show that it can generate dynamic, adaptive and precise load, with minimal impact on system load. We then illustrate its use in the experimental evaluation of static/dynamic load balancing, load stealing and mobile skeletons.

Proven strategies for harnessing the power of social media to drive social change
Many books teach the mechanics of using Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to compete in business. But no book addresses how to harness the incredible power of social media to make a difference.

Cultivating admiration in brands: Warmth, competence, and landing in the “golden quadrant”
Journal Paper Journal of Consumer Psychology, Volume 22, Issue 2, April 2012, Pages 191-194
Abstract
Although a substantial amount of research has examined the constructs of warmth and competence, far less has examined how these constructs develop and what benefits may accrue when warmth and competence are cultivated. Yet there are positive consequences, both emotional and behavioral, that are likely to occur when brands hold perceptions of both. In this paper, we shed light on when and how warmth and competence are jointly promoted in brands, and why these reputations matter.
