My name is Zoran Constantinescu and this is,
actually it should be :-) my home page. I'll try to put here as much
information as possible about me and my work. Since I don't like
to talk about me, most of the information will be about projects
I developed sometimes or I'm developing now. Of course, as always
an exception exists, here is a link to my
curriculum vitae, and to my
list of publications.
Research Interests:
As a computer science graduate, my main field of interest is, of
course, ... computer science. I mostly consider it as a
hobby.
... parallel and distributed programming, clustering, Internet technologies
... autonomic computing systems, real time and embedded systems
... large scale scientific visualization
... human behaviour understanding, system dynamics analysis
... and the penguin... Linux ... I am a Linux enthusiast since 1994.
I finished my PhD in Computer Science in 2008, at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology,
Trondheim (NTNU), Department of
Computer and Information Sciences,
Division of Intelligent Systems.
My topic of research was using distributed computing for large scale
scientific visualization. A short description can be found here, and the full thesis can be downloaded from here (pdf).
Current Projects:
- Cooking - some of the cooking i've done.
- NecLIB2 - integrated software for library management and digital library for audio recordings
- Gipix - GPS/GSM vehicle tracking device and integrated monitoring system
- unde.ro - geographical search engine for Romania ("unde"="where")
- Pictures - from places I've been traveling to in the past (not updated for a very long time)
Old Projects:
These are projects I worked sometime ago, either at the University as
a student, at work at companies or other small hacking projects. Most
of them I don't anymore support.
