Ted joined the MSR Silicon Valley Lab from Compaq Systems Research Center in 2001.
His research interests include operating systems, distributed systems, and security. He is
currently working on distributed systems and security issues such as those
addressed by the Community
Information Management project.
He is also been investigating methods for carrying personal desktop state on
portable flash devices and
improving
performance of such devices. Previous projects have included:
- Singularity:
a research operating system focused on dependability
- Penny Black: economic
disincentives to spamming
- VEXE'DD:
reliable software extension through virtualization.
Ted's previous work at Digital/Compaq SRC included
Pachyderm,
a web-based mail agent constructed using a full-text index, and
PJB, a portable
hard-disk based MP3 player.
