I am a professor in the Computer and Information Systems (CIS)
department at Dr. Krishna Kant is currently a professor in the CIS department
at Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, an IEEE Life Fellow
and IEEE distinguished visitor. From 2008-2014, he served as a program
director at the National Science Foundation where he directed the computer
systems research program and played leadership role in the NSF wide
sustainability initiative. From
1997 to 2008 he was with Intel Corporation, and from 1991 to 1997 with
Ericsson (formerly Bellcore). Prior to this, he was
an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Penn State University. He has
worked on a very wide range of research topics including configuration and
energy management, storage systems, wireless networks, smart grid security,
water distribution and transportation networks, telecommunications networks,
traffic and performance modeling, computer architecture, and fault tolerant
computing. He is the author of the graduate textbook Introduction to Computer
System Performance Modeling, McGraw Hill 1992 He
received his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from University of Texas at
Dallas in 1981.: I

My other areas with significant expertise and prior/ongoing work include (a) Traffic
characterization of internet and e-commerce servers, (b) Detailed platform
level performance modeling, (c) Network acceleration at transport and higher
layers, (d) compression technologies, and (e) peer to peer computing. Prior to
joining Intel, I was with Bellcore (now Telcordia)
from 1992 to 1997 where I worked on a both Operations support and Switching
sides of Telecom. In particular, I worked on a variety
of aspects related to Signaling System no 7 (SS7) including SS7 congestion
control, link error monitoring, capacity planning and
personal communications technologies. Prior to Bellcore,
I was an associate professor of computer science at Penn State University
(1985-1991) primarily working in areas of performance modeling and distributed
systems. From 1981-1985, I was an assistant professor in the EECS department,
Northwestern University, working mainly in the areas of fault-tolerance
and performance modeling. In 1992, I published a graduate level textbook
on performance modeling, titled Introduction to Computer Systems Performance Modeling,
McGraw Hill, 1992.
I was elected a
fellow of the IEEE for contributions to enterprise server performance and power management technologies
and Domain Name System Robustness. In 2021, I was elected IEEE distinguished
visitor. At the National Science Foundation, I represented the CISE directorate
in driving the large Sustainability initiative called SEES (Science,
Engineering, and Education for Sustainability) from its inception in 2010 until
2013, including the many funding programs that it produced. In 2012 I received NSF director’s award for my contributions to SEES. This site provides
topic areas for some of my IEEE distinguished visitor talks.
Latest:
TU-DAT (Temple University data on anomalous
Traffic). This is a large labelled dataset that we
created containing many driving anomalies under different weather conditions
and can be used by researchers for deep learning based studies on traffic charcterization and anomaly detection and prediction. Also
