Dr. Tao Gu is currently a Principal Investigator at Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R), Singapore. He received his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from National University of Singapore (NUS), a B.Eng. from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China, and a M.S. from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU).  His research interests involve various aspects of Ubiquitous/Pervasive computing and Ambient Intelligent including architecture/platform/tool, distributed algorithm, data management/processing, HCI, and security. Other areas of interest are Wireless Sensor Networks, Service computing, and Peer-to-Peer computing.

  Research Projects

        Current funded projects:

        Past projects:

  • SCS (Semantic Context Space): This project aimed to provide a distributed infrastructure for designing reliable, scalable and self-organized context-aware systems, and easing the development of context-awareness applications over multiple context spaces in pervasive computing environments. It extended the vision of SOCAM. In SCS, we proposed a semantic P2P overlay network for efficient context lookup and a distributed logical reasoning mechanism for context interpretation. Our ontology-based context model was extended with uncertainty modeling and probabilistic reasoning. The source code of SCS was released as open source on the project web site.
  • ContextBus: This project proposed a context discovery/lookup mechanism based on multiple P2P semantic overlay networks. The implementation has been integrated in SOCAM.
  • SOCAM (Service-Oriented Context-Aware Middleware): This project was selected as a pilot project under the Ultra-wide-band/sentient computing thematic research program of A*Star in October 2004. SERC Grant no. 0421110074. S$13,800 for 6 months. The source code of SOCAM was released as open source at the project web site.
  • OCTOPUS: Adaptive middleware service for multimedia communication.
