I have more than 80 publications in total as books, book chapters, journal articles, conference/workshop proceedings paper, and numerous posters. Note that, in computer science, conferences are usually at least as important as journals. On many of these papers, I am either the first or second author of the paper. Some papers appeared in top ranked CS conferences in their respective areas (i.e., very competitive with 3 or more rigorous reviews per paper; e.g., ICAC, ICDCS, IWQoS, ICSOC, CCGrid, etc.) and low acceptance rate (e.g., 16.23%, 17%, 17.7%, 20.4%, 21%, etc.). Some of my journal articles were published in IEEE Computer, IEEE Transactions on Computers, Elsevier Computer Networks Journal, Elsevier Future Generation Computer Systems, Journal of Systems and Software, IEEE Transactions on Network and System Management, and Elsevier Software, Practice and Experience. According to Google Scholar, my article on Composing Adaptive Software in IEEE Computer was cited 228 times. I have presented my research to the community through 34 conference and invited lecture presentations. In addition, I have one pending patent. For a complete list of publications, please click here!
