Introduction

Paul Devadoss Ezhilchelvan received Ph.D. degree in computer science in 1989 from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom.

He received the Bachelor of Engineering degree in 1981from the University of Madras, India, and the Master of Engineering degree in 1983 from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.

He joined the School of Computing Science of the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1983 where he is currently a lecturer.

Research Interests

Distributed Computing, Fault-tolerance, Algorithms,

Esteem Indicators

EPSRC College of Reviewers: I have been invited to join this prestigious proposals review body for three years starting from January 2006.

I acted as an external examiner at the University of Durham, assessing the dissertation work of research students.

I routinely serve in the Program Committees of many well-recognised IEEE conferences. The ones I currently serve are: Symposium on Performance of Dependable Systems (DSN/PDS) 2006, the 7th International Symposium on Object-oriented Real-time Computing (ISORC) 2006, and the 3rd International Workshop on Hot Topics in P2P Systems (HotP2P 2006).
