(Pssst - that isn't really me up there, that's Dogbert, from
``Dilbert.''
There are some actual
pictures of me
somewhere but they're really bad.)

Research Interests:
I currently work for
Mike Stonebraker
in the
database research group,
but Mike's taking early retirement (thank you, Jack Peltason) so my
future is a bit hazy right now.
Mariposa distributed data manager:
- Non-quiescing data movement algorithms.
- Replication algorithms and consistency models.
- Query optimization algorithms.
High-speed networks:
- Practical use of distributed shared memory for query processing.
-
Modeling and simulation of ATM networks.
Information retrieval systems:
-
Index support for document retrieval systems in extended-relational systems.
- Every now and then, I try to learn things about genome databases
from
George Hartzell
(a biologist cunningly disguised as a computer scientist). For some
reason we always seem to end up drinking beer instead, usually at the
Triple Rock Brewery
in downtown Berkeley.

An ATM Network Simulator to Study Admission Control and Routing
Algorithms,
Proc. 3rd Int. Conf. on Computer Communications and Networks,
San Francisco, CA, Sep. 1994, 1-5. (with Z. Qin, W. W. Wang, F. F. Wu
and T. Lo). (Refereed paper.)
-
Mariposa: A New Architecture for Distributed Data,
Proc. 10th Int. Conf. on Data Engineering, Houston, TX,
Feb. 1994, 54-65 (with M. Stonebraker, R. Devine, W. Litwin and
M. Olson). (Refereed paper.)
-
Implementation of Extended Indexes in POSTGRES,
SIGIR Forum 25, 1 (Spring 1991), 2-9. (Refereed paper.)
-
Parallelism in XPRS,
Technical Memorandum UCB/ERL M89/16, Electronics Research Laboratory,
U. C. Berkeley, Feb. 1989 (with M. Stonebraker and M. Seltzer).
I have, in the past, done some work for
Illustra Information Technologies
(known at various times as
Miro Systems and Montage Software), the
Sequoia 2000
global change research project and the
POSTGRES
object-relational DBMS project.
If you had any remaining doubts about my level of geekiness, you may
examine my
resume
or my Geek Code entry:

Excuses for my bad attitude about Berkeley:
I have pictures...
...but they're pretty bad (the Dogbert picture is a better likeness)
and I won't inflict them upon you unless you insist on seeing them.
This is my
FaceSaver image from Spring USENIX '88,
taken before I started wearing glasses. Thanks to Norm Hall and his
Logitech camera, here are two pictures of me in the demo room during
the Fall '92 Sequoia 2000 retreat,
talking to Joe Pasquale
(a CS prof at UCSD and UCB alumnus) and
just standing around.
Just for laughs, here's one of of a
tourist in Kuwait City
during the summer of '91. (In case you were wondering, that's an
ex-Iraqi Soviet-made combat engineering vehicle, and no, I didn't kill
the original occupants.)
