Distributed systems have become the fundamental computing infrastructures for many important real-world applications such as Internet search engine, enterpise data center, virtualized hosting infrastructure, online file sharing, information analytics, and scientific computing. The DANCE research group conducts fundamental research in distributed systems with focuses on intellignent management of complex distributed systems, distributed data-intensive computing, and system reliablity and availability.

Distributed system research resembles dancing in many ways. Both are fun but challenging; both require a lot of coordinated thinking but are also super-rewarding!   --- Xiaohui (Helen) Gu.
