Katevatis Graduate Scholarship in Hellenic Studies

Terms of Reference

  1. The purpose of the Katevatis Graduate Scholarship in Hellenic Studies is to promote knowledge and understanding regarding Hellenism, including Greek history, language, and literature, by providing financial support to graduate students whose research focuses on some aspect of this academic discipline.
  2. Students must be nominated for the award by the Chair of Hellenic Studies in the Department of History.
  3. The criteria for this award are:
    1. full-time registration and in good academic standing in the master’s or doctoral program in Hellenic History at SFU
    2. undertaking a research topic approved by the Chair and faculty in Hellenic Studies at SFU
  4. This award may be held in conjunction with other awards made by Simon Fraser University or other agencies where permitted by those agencies.
  5. The nomination is made on the Application for a Private Graduate Scholarship form and must be accompanied by:
    1. a nomination letter from the Chair of Hellenic Studies, summarizing the suitability of the candidate for the award
    2. a current, unofficial SFU transcript and a copy of the transcript of the most recent degree program completed
    3. a curriculum vitae summarizing scholastic achievements relevant to the aims of this scholarship
    4. one letter of reference from a faculty member familiar with the nominee’s scholarly work and academic background
  6. The award will be made by the Dean of Graduate Studies on behalf of the Senate Graduate Awards Adjudication Committee, upon the recommendation of the Chair of Hellenic Studies in the Department of History.

    Ph.D. Thesis DEFENSE HAIYANG WANG Master from Tongji University, CHINA 2005 Thursday May 30th, 2013 11:30 a.m. TASC1 9204 West FROM PEERS TO CLOUDS: DISTRIBUTED RESOURCES FOR CONTENT DELIVERY AND USER COLLABORATION In this thesis, we tackle the problem of content delivery and user collaboration with emerging Internet technologies. Our investigation starts from peer-to-peer (P2P) sharing with social relations to contemporary cloud computing with flexible resource provisioning. We seek to leverage distributed resources for efficient sharing and collaboration, which leads to a hybrid system design that seamlessly bridges users' local resources to public datacenters. We first explore social-network-based optimizations in peer-to-peer content delivery. We give solid evidences that long-term social relations can be found and applied to enhance the sharing efficiency in peer-to-peer networks, and present practical implementation strategies for the popular BitTorrent system. We then investigate the performance of cloud-based file synchronization applications and identify the bottlenecks in their system design, in particular, the task interferences. We propose an interference-aware provisioning algorithm, which effectively mitigates the problem. We further examine the users' interactions in state-of-the-art cloud-based distributed interactive applications. We find that, despite the benefit in terms of cost savings and better scalability, the cloud-based deployment greatly increases the users' interaction latency. We demonstrate that a smart assignment algorithms for virtual machines can remarkably reduce such latency. Finally, we present a real-world system design that effectively bridges users' local resources to enterprise cloud platforms. Our measurements as well as system analysis indicate that it serves as a complement of great potentials to enterprise cloud services.
