06/12/2008: "SAP Visit"

I am visiting SAP next week just for a day and I plan to talk to them about research ideas i have been developing on the sidelines in the areas of Grid operating systems and P2P networks. I am about to finish the work on Maven (at least the compiling part of it) and I plan to concertate on some research work which I have not been doing much since I started working on my current project. I want to develop my ideas on using the processing capabilities of hardware devices ranging PC's to playstations and Xbox consoles in order to carry out Grid Computing. I am sure many people have been thinking along the lines of using P2P networking capabilities in order to deploy services and run processes on dynamically discoverable PS3s smile ... that would raise so many interesting research questions in the areas of networking and security that i have been looking at. The centralised view of my current project does not leave much room for such questions to be raised and tackled. The more I think about it the more certain I am that I need to change labs soon. Anyway I 'll see if SAP find me interesting and get back to you.

more soon.
