Hong-Linh Truong currently is a senior research scientist at Distributed Systems Group, Institute of Information Systems, Vienna University of Technology (TU Vienna). He received an engineer degree from the HoChiMinh City University of Technology, Vietnam, in 1998, and a PhD degree from Vienna University of Technology, Austria, in 2005, both in computer science and engineering. Previously, he was an assistant lecturer and researcher at the Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering, HoChiMinh City University of Technology (April 1998- Nov 2000), a researcher at Software Science group, Institute for Scientific Computing, University of Vienna (Nov 2000-Feb 2005), and a post-doctoral research scientist at the Distributed and Parallel Systems group, Institute of Computer Science, University of Innsbruck (March 2005-Feb 2007). His research contributes to numerous national and international projects including the FWF SFB AURORA, the Austrian Grid, the Esprit Apart working group (Esprit 29488), the EU K-WfGrid STREP (IST-2002-511385), the EU WORKPAD STREP (FP6-2005-IST-5-034749), the FP6 inContext STREP, the FP7 COIN IP, the FP7 SM4All STREP, the FP7 COMMIUS STREP, and the WWTF service-oriented data integration projects. His research interests focus on understanding of performance, context, and data quality metrics associated with distributed and parallel applications and systems through monitoring and analysis, and on utilizing these metrics for the adaptation and optimization of these applications and systems. His research has been applied to performance/context-aware monitoring and analysis techniques and tools, Grid, cloud and service-oriented systems, collaborative and workflow systems, context-aware Web services and smart environments, and adaptive processes. He is a member of ACM, the IEEE and the IEEE Computer Society. Contact him at truong@infosys.tuwien.ac.at.
