Senior Researcher in the Software System Research Group of NICTA (Sydney, NSW, Australia)

Conjoint Lecturer at the School of Computer Science and Engineering of the University of New South Wales (Sydney, NSW, Australia)

Honorary Associate at the School of Information Technologies of the University of Sydney (Sydney, NSW, Australia)

INVITATION TO PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS

The focus of my current research is at the intersection of cloud computing, business-driven IT system management (BDIM) and autonomic computing, but I also have additional research interests. My colleagues and I are looking for high-quality graduate and undergraduate students. (Prospective graduate students should have mark average close to or above 85% to have a realistic chance for a good scholarship.) Our students officially study at either: a) the School of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) of the University of New South Wales (UNSW), or b) the School of Information Technologies (SIT) of the University of Sydney. For further information, prospective students should e-mail their academic curriculum vitae (CV), past publications in English (if any), and (official or unofficial) lists of marks from all past university-level courses to Dr. Vladimir Tosic (vladat at the computer.org e-mail server) with "Interested in PhD Studies at NICTA" in the Subject line. 

MAJOR PRESENT AND PAST PROJECTS AT NICTA

• (2011-pres.) Continuous Availability for Cloud Based Applications
  
• (2010-pres.) Adaptive Cloud Technologies
• (2009-2011) Business Adaptation and Interoperation (particularly the Business-IT Adaptation technology)
• (2007-2008) LIXI Business Processes and Technologies

AREAS OF CURRENT RESEARCH INTEREST

• Business-driven run-time management (monitoring and control, particularly dynamic adaptation without human intervention) of complex computing/software systems and business processes they implement
• Software engineering resulting in self-managing/autonomic computing systems
  
• Emerging distributed computing technologies, particularly for cloud computing, service-oriented computing, mobile computing, and pervasive/ubiquitous computing
• Strategies for commercialization of academic software engineering research
• Software patents and patent analysis software
