Mor Harchol-Balter's Homepage. I am interested in the performance analysis and design of computer systems, particularly distributed systems.
I work on finding analytical models which capture the important characteristics of a computer system and allow me to redesign the system to improve its performance (response time). I believe that many conventional wisdoms on which we base system designs are not well understood and sometimes false, leading to inferior designs. Many of our existing beliefs stem from queueing research in the 60's and 70's -- the great era for system performance modeling. Online Invitations with MeetingWizard.com. Datumprikker.
