Ling Liu

Ling Liu is an associate professor in the College of Computing at Georgia Institute of Technology. There she directs the research programs in Distributed Data Intensive Systems Lab (DiSL), examining performance, security, privacy, and data management issues in building large scale distributed computing systems. Dr. Liu and the DiSL research group have been working on various aspects of distributed data intensive systems, ranging from decentralized overlay networks, mobile computing and location based services, sensor network and event stream processing, to service oriented computing and architectures. She has published over 200 international journal and conference articles in the areas of Internet computing systems, distributed systems, and information security. Her research group has produced a number of open source software systems, among which the most popular ones include WebCQ, XWRAPElite, PeerCrawl. She has chaired a number of conferences as a PC chair, vice PC chair, or a general chair, and the most recent ones include IEEE International Conference on Data Engineering (2006, 2007), IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing (2006). Dr. Liu is currently on the editorial board of several international journals, including IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering and International Journal of Very Large Database systems (VLDBJ). Dr. Liu is the recipient of the best paper award of ICDCS 2003 and the best paper award of WWW 2004.
