Introduction

The complexity of man made systems on all scales is my research field. Cyber Infrastructure is rapidly evolving from relatively simple fixed components to programmable and virtualized objects with many degrees of freedom, owned, operated and governed by different entities in multiple administrative domains interacting on the Internet. Harnessing this complexity in a transparent trust-able way for safe and secure data processing is a major research topic that nowadays defines the focus in my research.
I chair the Complex Cyber Infrastructure (CCI) research group that hosts this research line. The CCI group works closely together with the MNS, PCS and SBD groups to conduct research on leading-edge computer systems of all scales, ranging from global-scale systems and networks to embedded devices. The CCI group is closely working together with the Security and Network Engineering (SNE) Master (www.os3.nl), Software Engineering Master (SE) and the Computer Science Master (CS) programs to disseminate knowledge through education.
