@UPDATE - New Article on Automated Decision Support for Cloud Application Migration. Details at: http://rranjans.wordpress.com/automated-cloud-decision-support/ Dr. Rajiv Ranjan is a Research Scientist and Project Leader in the CSIRO ICT Center, Information Engineering Laboratory, Canberra, where he is working on projects related to cloud and service computing. Previously, he was a Senior Research Associate (Lecturer level B) in the School of Computer Science and Engineering, University of New South Wales (UNSW). Dr. Ranjan has a PhD (2009) in Computer Science and Software Engineering from the University of Melbourne. He completed Bachelor of Computer Engineering from North Gujarat University, India, in 2002. Dr. Ranjan is broadly interested in the emerging areas of cloud, grid, and service computing. The main goal of his current research is to advance the fundamental understanding and state of the art of provisioning and delivery of application services in large, heterogeneous, uncertain, and evolving distributed systems(cloud, grids, data center, and web services). Though a recent graduate, his h-index is 14, with a total citation count of 700+ (source: google scholar citations-gadget). Dr. Ranjan has often served as Guest Editor for leading distributed systems and software engineering journals including Future Generation Computer Systems (Elsevier Press), Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience (John Wiley & Sons), and Software: Practice and Experience (Wiley InterScience). He was the Program Chair for 2010, 2011, and 2012 Australasian Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing and 2010 IEEE TCSC Doctoral Symposium. He serves as the editor of IEEE TCSC Newsletter. He has also recently initiated (as chair) IEEE TCSC Technical area on Cloud Computing. A journal paper that appeared in the IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorial Journal (impact factor 3.692 and the 5-year impact factor is 8.462) was named “Outstanding Paper on New Communications Topics for 2009” by IEEE Communications Society, USA. IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorial is ranked as no # 1 journal (among other journals including IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, IEEE Communications Letters, IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, IEEE Transactions on Communications, etc.) in the field of communications based on the last five years impact factor. Though his PhD was awarded only two years ago, already the quality of work undertaken as part of that degree and his subsequent post-doctoral research undertaken at the University of Melbourne and UNSW has been recognised, often cited, and adopted by both industry and academia. For example, the Alchemi toolkit http://www.cloudbus.org/~alchemi/projects.html) is used by CSIRO Physics, Biology, and Natural Sciences researchers as a platform for solving critical problems; by e-Water CRC to create environment simulation models for natural resource modelling; and by the Friedrich Miescher Institute (FMI), Switzerland; Tier Technologies, USA; Satyam Computers, India; and Correlation Systems Ltd., Israel. CloudSim (http://www.cloudbus.org/cloudsim/) is used extensively by Hewlett-Packard Labs Texas A&M University, and Duke University in USA; and Tsingua University in China and to study and evaluate performance measurements of Cloud resources and application management techniques. He is happy to answer any questions, related to cloud computing research, development, consultancy, market study, and patent portfolio. @@@ Book on Cloud Computing@@@@ Cloud Computing: Methodology, System, and Applications, CRC Press,Taylor & Francis - Publication in January 2012 @@@ Book on Cloud Computing@@@@ @@@ Keynote Paper@@@@ InterCloud: Utility-Oriented Federation of Cloud Computing Environments for Scaling of Application Services @ ICA3PP 2010 @@@ Award @@@@ One of my journal papers has been selected as the "2009 Outstanding Paper on New Communication Topics" by "IEEE Communications Society" ******* Call for CCPE SS Journal Papers******* Concurrency and Computation Journal - Sepcial Issue on Autonomic Cloud Computing (Deadline extended to Feb 28, 2010) Software: Practice and Experience Journal - Sepcial Issue on Software Architectures and Application Development Environments for Cloud Computing (Deadline May 10, 2010) Contact: email (reverse, replace is by @) : gmail.com is rranjans School of Computer Science and Engineering
