Research Experience

Anirban Mandal's research interests fall in the area of application level scheduling of Grid applications. His current work is primarily focussed on performance-model based, heuristic scheduling of application workflows onto the Grid resources. He has also been involved in the GrADS project where he worked on mapping HPF applications onto the Grid.
