My name is Zoran Constantinescu and this is,
actually it should be :-) my home page. I'll try to put here as much
information as possible about me and my work. Since I don't like
to talk about me, most of the information will be about projects
I developed sometimes or I'm developing now. Of course, as always
an exception exists, here is a link to my
curriculum vitae.
Research Interests:
As a computer science graduate, my main field of interest is, of
course, ... computer science. I mostly consider it as a
hobby.
... parallel and distributed programming, clustering, Internet technologies
... autonomic computing systems
... large scale scientific visualization,
... project management, human behaviour understanding, system dynamics
... and the penguin... Linux!
I'm currently a PhD student at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology,
Trondheim (NTNU), Department of
Computer and Information Sciences,
Division of Intelligent Systems.
My topic of research is in using distributed computing for large scale
scientific visualization.
Current Projects:
- unde.ro - geo-search for Romania ("unde"="where")
- QADPZ - distributed computing,
(see the project on Sourceforge)
- ClustIS - built and currently maintaining our department's Beowulf cluster of 40 nodes
- Pictures
from places I've been traveling.
- Tourneo - online reservation system for hotels in Romania and Bucharest
Old Projects:
These are projects I worked sometime ago, either at the University as
a student, at work at companies or other small hacking projects. Most
of them I don't anymore support.
