KerData Staff in DataCloud@Work

Permanent staff

Gabriel Antoniu (leader)

He is a Research Scientist at INRIA Rennes - Bretagne Atlantique (CR1). He is also the leader of the KerData Joint Team of INRIA Rennes - Bretagne Atlantique and ENS Cachan - Antenne de Bretagne.

His research interests include: grid and cloud distributed storage, large-scale distributed data management and sharing, data consistency models and protocols, grid and peer-to-peer systems.

He coordinates the involvement of INRIA Rennes - Bretagne Atlantique in the SCALUS project of the Marie-Curie Initial Training Networks programme (ITN), call FP7-PEOPLE-ITN-2008 (2009-2012) and in the CoreGRID ERCIM Working Group. He has been involved in several other international, European and national collaborative projects in these fields, including the CoreGRID European Network of Excellence.

Luc Bougé

He is the Chair of the Informatics and Telecommunication Department (DIT) at ENS Cachan - Antenne de Bretagne. His research interests include the design and semantics of parallel programming languages and the management of data in very large distributed systems such as grids, clouds and peer-to-peer (P2P) networks.

Ph.D. students

Bogdan Nicolae

His research interests include: parallel and distributed computing, cloud computing, large-scale distributed data-storage solutions, versioning, transactional concurrency control. His main focus is BlobSeer, a storage service for data-intensive distributed applications designed to sustain a high data throughput under heavy access concurrency. He is also actively involved in research activities related to several other projects: LEGO, Gfarm, Hadoop, Grid'5000.

He is a Ph.D. student at the University of Rennes 1, France and his Ph.D. thesis is funded by the French Ministry of Education (2007-2010).

Alexandra Carpen-Amarie

Her research interests include large-scale distributed systems, distributed data storage, cloud computing, monitoring in distributed systems. She is working on the design of an introspection layer for the BlobSeer data storage system, a first step towards an autonomic steering for this system. This layer is being implemented as an extension of the MonALISA monitoring framework and evaluated on the Grid'5000 testbed.

She is a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at ENS Cachan and her Ph.D. thesis is funded through a grant from the INRIA CORDIS program (2008-2011).

Diana Moise

Her research interests comprise parallel and distributed computing, distributed file systems, distributed data storage, data-intensive applications, the Map/Reduce paradigm. Her work has so far focused on two projects: developing a file system interface on top of the BlobSeer data storage service; integrating BlobSeer with the Hadoop framework by replacing the default storage layer, the Hadoop File System (HDFS), with BlobSeer in order to improve data throughput and add functionalities.

She is a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at ENS Cachan and her Ph.D. thesis is funded through a joint grant of the Brittany Region and of INRIA (2008-2011).

Viet-Trung Tran

He is working in the KerData Team at INRIA Rennes - Bretagne Atlantique. His research interests are parallel and distributed computing, distributed file systems, high-performance computing, distributed data storage. His recent Master’s thesis focused on efficient use of BlobSeer, a large-scale data-management platform, as an underlying substrate for grid file systems.

He is a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at ENS Cachan and his Ph.D. thesis is funded by the French Ministry of Education (2009-2012).
