I am Jeff Tan, lecturer with the Caulfield School of I.T., Faculty of Information Technology, Monash University. I am presently working with Professor David Abramson and the Monash e-Science and Grid Engineering Laboratory (Message Lab).
  My research focuses on security and connectivity issues surrounding the deployment of Grid applications such as the parameter sweep meta-scheduler, Nimrod/G. Details of my subproject, REMUS (RErouting and MUltiplexing System), are described in this wiki.
Lecturing, 2009:
  1. Network Administration (FIT2018)
  2. Network Administration & Management (FIT5034)
  3. Network Standards & Specifications (FIT2019)
  4. Data Communications & Networks (FIT1005)
