John (JD) Douceur
RESEARCHER
.
I manage the Distributed Systems Research Group in MSR-Redmond.
I've been with Microsoft since 1993 and with MSR since 1995.
My main research interest is the development of new distributed-system technology, specifically the design of distributed algorithms, data structures, and protocols. I am also interested in the measurement, evaluation, and analytical modeling of systems and networks, with particular focus on statistical analysis and simulation.
My current main research topics are networked multiplayer games (see Donnybrook) and administration-free distributed computing (see Xax).
My main community involvement is in IPTPS and SIGMETRICS.
