Jong Yul Kim

I'm a PhD candidate in the IRT lab. My advisor is Professor Henning Schulzrinne.

During my PhD program, I studied and taught in the general area of computer networks. I'm interested in large-scale network applications, and have specialty in Voice-over-IP systems and distributed systems.

Regarding distributed systems, I'm interested in three points of view:

System design and architecture
Properties of the system such as reliability, availability, and scalability
Applying model checking to verify the correctness of protocols

Candidacy Exam

I passed the candidacy exam on "Availability of Network Application Systems" on February 3, 2010. The focus was on the problems that application service providers have to tackle when deploying services on the internet using commodity servers: namely, path failures and server failures. CDNs, and DNS systems are presented as current practices.
