Biographical Sketch

Born and brought up in TuyHoa, VietNam, currently I am a senior research scientist at Distributed Systems Group, Institute of Information Systems, Vienna University of Technology. From March 2005 to February 2007, I was a postdoctoral research scientist at Distributed and Parallel Systems Group, University of Innsbruck. From Nov 2000 to February 2005, I was a researcher at Software Science Group, Institute for Scientific Computing, University of Vienna. Before that, I worked as an assistant lecturer and a researcher in Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering, HCMC University of Technology, Vietnam from 1998 to 2000.

Member of ACM, IEEE and IEEE Computer Society.

As a Reviewer, PC member, Session/Workshop/Conference Organizer, Chair, Editor

• Full list
• Current Co-chair, , The 5th International Workshop on Personalization in Cloud and Service Computing (PCS 2011)
• Current TPC member: The 4th Asian Conference on Intelligent Information and Database Systems (ACIIDS 2012), Performance Assessment and Auditing in Service Computing Workshop 2011, Cooperative Systems in Heterogeneous Environments (COSYS) Track, SAC 2012, The 13th International Conference on Information Integration and Web-based Applications & Services, The 8th International Conference on Mobile Web Information Systems (MobiWIS 2011)

My research interests are various fields pertained to distributed and parallel systems with an applied, systems-oriented focus. My main research interest focuses on obtaining an understanding of the behaviour and quality of distributed and parallel applications and systems through monitoring and analysis. My research has been applied to:

Performance Analysis Techniques and Tools for Distributed and Parallel Systems, Parallel Processing and Grid Computing, Internet Technologies and Web Services, Workflows and Collaborative Computing, Autonomic Computing and Context-Awareness. Furthermore, i am interested in (free) ICT solutions for (under) developing countries.
