Research

  • I'm now a Reader in Applied Performance Modelling in the Analysis, Engineering, Simulation and Optimization of Performance (AESOP) group in the Department of Computing at Imperial. My broad area of research interest is the application of mathematical modelling techniques to real life systems. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to, modelling and optimisation in parallel queueing systems (especially split-merge and fork-join systems), stochastic modelling of sport, stochastic modelling of healthcare systems, resource allocation and control in cloud-computing environments, numerical solution of (semi-)Markov models and specification techniques for SLA specification, compliance prediction and monitoring.

Selected Publications
  • PIPE2 is a free, extensible, platform-independent, open source Petri net editor/analyser developed by several generations of MSc students at Imperial under my supervision (note DNAnet and DaNAMiCS are no longer available or supported). PIPE2 is the current active branch of the PIPE Petri net editor project, with over 60,000 downloads to date.
