Welcome
to the Laboratory for Advanced
Systems Research. The LASR Laboratory is located in the Computer
Science Department at the University of California,
Los
Angeles (UCLA).
Our research focus is on active networks, network security, operating
systems,
file systems, distributed systems, and systems support for mobile
computing
and wireless networks.
The
Laboratory's research programs
are
guided by:
Dr.
Peter Reiher, associate adjunct
professor at UCLA. Developer of system software for unreliable
distributed environments for over eighteen years, including naming
systems, replicated file systems, and systems for secure collaboration
over insecure networks.
Dr.
Gerald Popek, adjunct professor at UCLA and CTO of United Online,
a major Internet service provider.
