Ramanathan, Parameswaran

My current research focuses on design and analysis of techniques for real-time communication in computer networks. In an ongoing project, my students and I are investigating techniques for providing quality of service guarantees to real-time multimedia applications in wireless and wireline networks. The project involves developing hardware and software techniques for providing quality of service guarantees and validating them on an experimental ATM network. For wireless networks, we are also working on scheduling support for multimedia communication, fairness issues in medium access control, and techniques for quality of service guarantees during handoffs.

In the past, I have also worked on the problem of integrated real-time and non-real-time communication in distributed computing systems. I have also published extensively in the area of fault-tolerant computing on problems such as clock synchronization, checkpointing and rollback recovery, memory testing, and resource placement.

Funding for my research have come federal agencies like National Science Foundation and industries like AT&T and Chrysler Motors Corporation.
