Wes Lloyd, Ph.D.
Research Interests:
My research interests encompass distributed systems and software engineering, and I have published research in the areas of cloud computing, virtualization, scientific computing, performance modeling, web/service computing, software metrics, and requirements engineering. I am particularly passionate about the development of data analytics that harness software and system level metrics to better quantify and autonomously manage complex systems.
