From 1998 my research topics included high performance and quality-aware Web systems as well as distributed infrastructures for adapting Web applications. In the last 10 years, I have been working on: (i) QoS-driven runtime adaptation of service-oriented systems, (ii) resource provisioning and elasticity in Cloud and edge/fog systems, (iii) self-adaptive deployment of geo-distributed data stream applications, and (iv) optimization of kernel codes on GPUs. I have co-authored more than 110 papers published in peer-reviewed international journals, conference and workshop proceedings, and book chapters, starting with the first published paper in 1998. Among these publications, 3 have received paper awards at international conferences (SOSE 2011, ACM DEBS 2015, ACM DEBS 2016) and 1 at international workshops (DistInSys 2021). According to Google Scholar, in September 2021 there are more than 5400 citations of all the articles that I co-authored, with a h-index equal to 34. According to Scopus, in September 2021 the total number of citations exceeds 2700 (with 101 indexed articles) and my h-index is 26. I have been included in the ranking, published in 2020 on PLoS Biology (10.1371/journal.pbio.3000918, Table S7-singleyr-2019), of 2% top-scientists for the single year 2019.

Základní aktivity – Členství – Vydavatelství – Sborníky konferencí – Standardy / normy IEEE’s Mission To foster technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity 1884: The American Institute of Electrical Engineers is founded A small group of individuals met in New York and founded the AIEE to advance the new field and represent the US at the 1884 International Electrical Exhibition in Philadelphia. Thomas Edison, one of the founders of the Norvin Green, AIEE President of Western Union Program of the 1884 Telegraph and first International Electrical president of the AIEE Exhibition, Franklin Institute, Philadelphia 1912: The Institute of Radio Engineers is founded Radio, a new electrical technology, arose in the first decade of the twentieth century. With the new industry came a new society, IRE, modeled on the AIEE, but devoted to radio, and later increasingly to electronics. 1901 Guglielmo Marconi and 1922 George Kemp with Triode vacuum tube equipment used in inventor Lee de Forest transatlantic wireless with a radio telegraphy 1912 Radio telegraph operators’ communications with the sinking Titanic demonstrated the power of radio AIEE + IRE = IEEE The idea that there should be one organization for all electrical engineers was an old one, and became more powerful as the profession expanded beyond its separate roots in power and radio. In 1962, the boards and memberships of the two institutes agreed to merge. On January 1, 1963, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers was born with 150,000 members.
