Statement of Purpose (University of Oklahoma)

Finally I come up with my fucking statement of purpose. I would like share my statement of purpose with you guys. So that you can suggest me for better one. I will be very grateful if you guys leave few comments.

I am interested to pursue my research activities in the field of Parallel and Distributed Computing. Scarcity of computing resources is a never ending phenomenon, and Distributed Computing is the most fitting engineering solution. All over the world, a lot of people are engaged in this arena to make it more efficient than before. Therefore, it becomes the core technology in computer science. My intention is to enroll in the Ph.D. program, and work on this field. After having the Doctoral degree, I plan to be a part of the academia to prolong my research endeavors. I believe that I can pursue this technology towards dream extent.

I have a promising background in research on Distributed Systems and High Performance Computing. I became cognizant about Distributed Computing at the very beginning my undergrad career. I started working on Parallel Computing on my own interest. At that time, I came to know about Grid Computing, which is a diversified field of Distributed Computing. Once I delved inside this broad topic, I became extremely interested about Grid Computing, and decided to proceed further with Grid Computing. It has been almost two years that I am engaged in Distributed Computing rigorously. In course of time, I learned a lot about this interesting topic, and built a passion for research-based career in Parallel and Distributed Computing.

I had carried out lots of experiments in Grid Computing arena; most of them were related to software architecture in Grid Computing. My research paper about Software Architecture is accepted in GCA'07- The 2007 International Conference on Grid Computing and Applications (Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA) titled as 3-Tier Architecture of Data Server on Grid: Implemented using Globus Toolkit. In my research paper I was trying to establish some software architectures for different types of softwares in Grid Systems. I worked on design of servers and large-scale softwares for Grid System. Finally I come up with new architecture for Grid System and compiled in my research paper.

Because of my reputation on Grid Computing, I got an offer to carry out a research work on Grid Computing from the University of Pretoria, South Africa with Serena Coetzee (Lecturer, University of Pretoria) and Professor Judith Bishop (Professor, University of Pretoria). It allowed me to think deeply and more maturely on optimization, scheduling, security, and architecture of the Grid Computing Environment. Now I am a non-resident member of the POLELO (http://polelo.cs.up.ac.za) Research Group. I am working with this group for the last fifteen month, and I have already completed several implementations and research papers. One of my research outputs about the implementation of Server on Grid System has been published in prestigious Springer Book of Advanced Information System Design, USA, 2007. In course of my research work, I went through different Grid Computing softwares and finally got stuck on Globus Toolkit. One of my important research outputs includes the comparison of Globus Toolkit and Alchemi.NET in practical implementation, which has been published by International Conference of Electrical and Computer Engineers (ICECE), 06.

My undergraduate thesis was “Data Warehouse Design and Implementation”. In my undergraduate thesis, I developed a full-featured Data warehouse for a banking system. Data cube generation is the bottleneck of data warehouse; I come up with an innovative Hash-map based cube-generation algorithm, which makes cube-generation time polynomial rather than exponential. The Data processing server was designed for Distributed, Multi-processor system.

Now I am working in prominent outsourcing-based Software Company named KAZ Software Ltd (http://www.kaz.com.bd) in Bangladesh. I am involved in developing few large-scale enterprise solutions, like InnoCielo Meridian Enterprise (http://www.bluecieloecm.com), and most of them are industrially very successful. In this field, I encounter the same challenge most vigorously. No hardware resource can meet the requirement of all softwares. Thus, we have to carry out some load balancing in few cases. In course of my professional work, these load balancing for greedy, resource-hungry software intensified my enthusiasm about research on Distributed and Parallel Computing.

At the very beginning of my undergraduate study, programming filched my interest at the extreme extent. I took programming as a passion and was involved in programming rigorously. Consequently, I became outstanding as well as the best one of my time. I carried out my all university projects very successfully, and these lead me to grow interest about industry-standard software development. So, I was looking for challenging software development environment to gather real life experiences. Because of my outstanding capability, it was very easy for me to manage such an environment. Few Development houses were enthusiastically interested to involve me in their software-development processes. I was mostly associated with the Structured Data System Ltd (SDSL), which is an outsourcing-based software company in Bangladesh, and their main client is AfriGIS Private Ltd (http://www.afrigis.co.za), a recognized South African software industry. I worked at SDSL for the last two years of my undergraduate school as a part-time Software Engineer to get the taste of creating full-featured systems and softwares. I worked at SDSL mainly during my semester breaks and different vacations. This part time job taught me the industry standards of software-development process. I was also involved in different GIS related softwares, for example, Intiendo Server and Map Server. During the total System Development Life Cycle, I learned a lot and gathered a huge experience.

The most important thing, which I really proud for is my innovative capability. My innovative capability helps me to build sound logical and analytical skills. I have proved this capability in every aspect of my life. I was keen at computer algorithms and mathematics during my undergraduate courses. I am sure that these gifted innovative capabilities took me to the zenith of computer science research arena. Be aware about Parallel and Distributed Computing Research Group at the University of Oklahoma, I spent a lot of time on it. I have scrutinized their recent works and research papers, and it made me enthusiastically interested to work in this group. I have talked with Professor Le Gruenwald. She encourages me to proceed further in Parallel and Distributed Computing research field. Professor Le Gruenwald is one of the faculty members of University of Oklahoma. She works in same research field. I found her works very interesting. I am very interested to work with her as a Ph.D. student.

I have some professional experiences, research experiences, and sound academic records. Using them as basis, I feel that I can contribute in the field of Distributed and Parallel Computing. I believe my Graduate Program in the University of Oklahoma will help me lot to learn new ideas, modify existing ideas or systems, and implement new systems and algorithms. With the highly qualified faculty members, excellent graduate students, and state of the art research facilities, I strongly believe that the School of Computer Science at University of Oklahoma is the perfect place for me to excel my research activities.
