| Dr Reiher is an adjunct associate professor in the Computer
Science Department at UCLA and leads the Laboratory for Advanced Systems
Research (LASR). His research
interests include file systems, network and computer security, distributed
operating systems, ubiquitous computing,
the use of optimistic methods in computing, and parallel discrete
event simulation.
The Laboratory for Advanced Systems Research conducts important research in many areas related to networks, operating systems, and distributed systems Dr. Reiher has been a principal investigator (PI) or co-principal investigator on the following on-going efforts and recently completed efforts.

| Prior to joining the LASR Group (formerly the "File Mobility
Group") at UCLA, Dr. Reiher contributed to important projects at JPL, including
the Time Warp Operating System, a project experimenting with optimistic
synchronization mechanisms for parallel processing. As the chief designer
for this system, he was the co-recipient of a 1990 R&D 100 Award which
targets the 100 best research and development projects of the year.
Dr. Reiher received his B.S. (Electrical Engineering) from the University of Notre Dame in 1979, and his M.S. and Ph.D. (Computer Science) from UCLA in 1983 and 1987. Dr. Reiher teaches graduate courses in the UCLA Computer Science Department on subjects including advanced operating systems, distributed operating systems, computer security, and experimental methodology for system software. For additional information on work and interests, see Dr. Reiher's home page. Technical papers authored by Dr. Reiher are numerous. |
