Scholar-generated biography
Evangelia (Eva) Kalyvianaki is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Technology at the University of Cambridge. Her research focuses on the integration of fault tolerance and scalability in stream processing systems, with an emphasis on operator state management and adaptive resource provisioning. She explores the intersection of software engineering and control theory to develop self-adaptive systems for virtualized servers and cloud environments. Her work addresses challenges such as load balancing, latency guarantees, and fairness in federated stream processing. Kalyvianaki's research also investigates distributed coordination mechanisms and time-malleability in cloud-based systems to optimize resource allocation and improve system performance.
