Research Areas

Babaoğlu is the author of more than 100 peer-reviewed papers in a wide range of research topics, including:

  • Operating Systems[1]
  • Performance Evaluation and Modeling[2]
  • Distributed Computing[3]
  • Byzantine Agreement[4]
  • Parallel Computing on Networks of Workstations[5]
  • Group Communication Systems[6]
  • Peer-to-Peer Systems.[7] Babaoğlu has contributed to peer-to-peer computing through paradigms, algorithms, frameworks (Anthill[8]) and a widely used open source simulation software package (PeerSim)
  • Autonomic Computing and Self-Management[9]
  • Gossip-Based Aggregation[10]
  • Overlay Networks and Topology Management[11]
  • Decentralized Shape Formation[12]
  • Biology and Nature-Inspired Computing.[13] As part of work on the EU-funded BISON Project, Babaoğlu and colleagues have developed a library of “design patterns” for distributed computing that draw inspiration from biological or natural processes.
  • Game-Theoretic Techniques in Peer-to-Peer Systems[14]
  • Cloud Computing[15]
  • High-Performance Computing[16]

BSD Unix

During his PhD work at UC Berkeley, Babaoğlu was one of the architects of “

TCP/IP. BSD was widely distributed in source form so that others could learn from it and improve it; this style of software distribution has led to the open source
movement, of which BSD is now recognized to be one of the earliest examples.
