Doctoral Research & Scholarly Output
A focused research agenda addressing foundational challenges in decentralized network systems and Quality of Service (QoS).
PhD Thesis: Core Contributions
My doctoral research at RMIT University provided solutions to the inherent instability and lack of Quality of Service (QoS) in P2P architectures. The key contributions from this work are outlined below.
A Novel Architecture
Proposed the Extended Super-Peer based file sharing Architecture (ESPA) to create a reliable framework integrating fixed and mobile devices with QoS support.
Advanced Routing
Developed SPCHQ for bandwidth-aware path selection, and probabilistic algorithms PPC & PPCH to handle dynamic network states.
Load Sharing
Created techniques like PPR and ODR to prevent network bottlenecks, enhancing them with reliability-focused algorithms (RPPR and RPRR).
Key Publications & Collaborations
My research is further evidenced by publications in conference papers and book chapters. My primary collaborators at RMIT were Dr. Ibrahim Khalil and Dr. Zahir Tari, respected academics at the forefront of distributed systems and cybersecurity.
