Matti A. Hiltunen, Ph.D.:

Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science, Department of Computer Science, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona, 1996. Dissertation: Configurable Fault-Tolerant Distributed Services (Available as Technical Report TR96-12, Department of Computer Science, University of Arizona, July 1996.)
Master of Science in Computer Science, Department of Computer Science, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland, 1989.

Highly-customizable QoS in distributed (middleware) services: Understanding the QoS properties such as reliability, timeliness, security, and performance in the context of distributed middleware services; providing configurable implementations that allow customized versions to provide exactly the QoS required by each application.
Adaptive distributed systems: Adaptive systems change their behavior during runtime as a reaction to changes in the execution environment or user requirements. The problems that I'm working on right now deal with utilization of the adaptive approach to derive more efficient distributed algorithms and providing mechanisms for making it easier to construct such systems.
Configurable real-time systems: Addition of real-time properties to the configuration framework developed for general distributed fault-tolerant systems.
Other interests: Dealing with problems of wide-area network (partitions, failures, etc.), access control, mobile computing, and realistic models for computing in "asynchronous" systems.
