Middleware

Roy H. Campbell

Professor Campbell's research interests are in the engineering and construction techniques of complex system software. Security, continuous media, and real-time control present a challenge to operating system designers. Ubiquitous, distributed, and parallel systems require complex resource management and efficient implementations.
Carl A. Gunter

Professor Gunter uses his background in programming languages to analyze protocols and systems with respect to trustworthy operation. Information about Professor Gunter's recent work is outlined on the Security Lab page.
Himanshu Khurana

Dr. Khurana's research interests lie in the area of distributed system security, especially as applied to large-scale distributed systems and critical infrastructures. He is currently working on developing security solutions for messaging systems and the power grid infrastructure.
Klara Nahrstedt

Professor Nahrstedt's interest in security comes from her work in multimedia systems. Due to the time constraints of multimedia systems, the security issues differ from those in more standard Internet communication. She has pioneered the area of Quality of Protection to explore the tradeoffs between multimedia performance and communication security.
Adam J. Slagell

Mr. Slagell leads the LAIM (Log Anonymization and Information Management) working group, which is funded by NSF project 0524643 (CT-ISG: Computer Log Anonymization and Information Sharing) and the National Center for Advanced Secure Systems Research (NCASSR).
Von Welch

Von Welch is the co-Director of the NCSA CyberSecurity Directorate at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois. He also serves as co-director of the National Center for Advanced Secure Systems Research (NCASSR) in ITI and NCSA.
