Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Computer network
  • The Internet
  • Operating system

His primary areas of investigation include Computer network, Distributed computing, The Internet, Network packet and Scalability. His work in Computer network covers topics such as Computer security which are related to areas like Network virtualization. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Distributed computing, focusing on Overlay network and, on occasion, Content addressable network and Network topology.

His study in The Internet is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Theoretical computer science and Server. His Network packet research incorporates elements of Scheduling, Mobile computing and Multicast. The Scalability study which covers Consistency that intersects with Sensor node and Routing.

His most cited work include:

  • OpenFlow: enabling innovation in campus networks (7096 citations)
  • A scalable content-addressable network (6477 citations)
  • Spark: cluster computing with working sets (3481 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Scott Shenker mainly focuses on Computer network, Distributed computing, The Internet, Network packet and Computer security. Static routing, Routing protocol, Routing, Network topology and Network congestion are the primary areas of interest in his Computer network study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Link-state routing protocol and Dynamic Source Routing.

Scott Shenker is interested in Multicast, which is a field of Distributed computing. His The Internet study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Service and Service. He regularly ties together related areas like Network architecture in his Network packet studies.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Computer network (41.94%)
  • Distributed computing (39.57%)
  • The Internet (20.86%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Computer network (41.94%)
  • Distributed computing (39.57%)
  • Network packet (14.84%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Computer network, Distributed computing, Network packet, Operating system and Stateful firewall. The concepts of his Computer network study are interwoven with issues in Scalability and The Internet. Scott Shenker interconnects Computer security and Telecommunications in the investigation of issues within The Internet.

In his works, he performs multidisciplinary study on Distributed computing and Scale. His Network packet research integrates issues from Ethernet, Failover, State and Theoretical computer science. Many of his research projects under Operating system are closely connected to Spark with Spark, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Apache Spark: a unified engine for big data processing (1030 citations)
  • Network virtualization in multi-tenant datacenters (308 citations)
  • Making sense of performance in data analytics frameworks (282 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Computer network
  • Operating system
  • The Internet

His scientific interests lie mostly in Distributed computing, Operating system, Network packet, Computer network and Software. His study in the fields of Computer cluster under the domain of Distributed computing overlaps with other disciplines such as Data sharing. His work on Server as part of general Operating system study is frequently linked to Spark and Stateful firewall, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

The Network packet study combines topics in areas such as Flow control, Core and Dynamic priority scheduling. His research brings together the fields of Flexibility and Computer network. His Software research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Scalability, Packet processing, Software engineering, Systems architecture and Data analysis.
