Research Interests

Recent years have witnessed dramatic changes in the way people access and use data and computing services. Astounding improvements in the performance, power efficiency, and miniaturization of computing devices have propelled the advent of mobile and ubiquitous computing. Mobile computing has already enabled a wide array of interesting and important distributed applications in business (e.g., enterprise data access, m-commerce, mobile workgroups), personal communications, and wireless Internet access. In order to meet the performance, availability, and scalability requirements of emergent computing environments and applications, data and services will continue to become increasingly distributed and decentralized. This trend requires a critical rethinking of many issues that arise in the design and implementation of the underlying next-generation computing infrastructures. Ugur Cetintemel’s research context explores data and resource management issues in advanced distributed systems such as mobile databases, peer-to-peer systems, and sensor networks. More specifically, he is interested in Internet-scale data replication, caching, and dissemination, adaptive resource management, load balancing, and system security.
