Dr. HIRANO Satoshi
Satoshi is my first name. Call me Satoshi.
I received my Ph.D from the University of Tokyo in 1992. The title of my
thesis was "Highly Parallel Database Server".
In 1992 I joined Electrotechnical Laboratory.
Currently I'm a member of the Distributed Systems Section.
- My career so far includes much practical work on system design and
programming. This includes the control network of a large proton synchrotoron(KEK
PS), stock price report network (Toshiba), heart diagnostics system (Nihon
Koden), terminal emulator (hterm), mailing list server(hml), world's first
DOS port of GNU Emacs (Demacs), satelite communication (CRL), two experimental
parallel database machines (FDS,SDC), some programming languages (Prolog,
asm, disasm, OOL), and many realtime embedded systems.
My research interests are: information society, massively parallel operating
systems, the "Ring Server"
massively distributed file server, and this language.
