| Description of Research Interests |
| Vinny Cahill's research activities address many aspects of distributed systems, in particular, middleware and programming models for ubiquitous and mobile computing with application to intelligent transportation systems and personal healthcare/independent living. In the past, he worked extensively on middleware and programming models for distributed object computing.
Society is now at the point where the emergence of a new class of large-scale decentralized and proactive applications, i.e., applications that operate independently of direct human control, can be envisaged. It can be foreseen that future mission-critical computer systems will be comprised of networked components that will act autonomously in responding to a myriad of inputs to affect and control their surrounding environment. The central objective of his research is the design, implementation, and evaluation of scalable middleware and programming models for such sentient computing applications that span deployment scenarios ranging from sensor networks to augmented artefacts to autonomous mobile robots to city-wide smart space applications. His goal is to make this technology viable in addressing a range of issues that will be important to society in the near future with an initial focus on transportation safety and efficiency but also on supporting independent-living for an increasingly ageing population. His current work is supported primarily by Science Foundation Ireland under Investigator Award 02/IN.1/I250 - Middleware for Sentient Computing. |
