Darrell Don Earl Long (born August 5, 1962, San Diego, California) is an American computer scientist, the Kumar Malavalli Endowed Professor of Storage Systems Research and Professor of Computer Science at the University of California, Santa Cruz.[3] He is currently Editor-in-Chief of the ACM Transactions on Storage.[4]

Biography

Long attended public schools in El Cajon, California. He did his undergraduate studies at San Diego State University, graduating in 1984, and went on to graduate studies at the University of California, San Diego, earning a Ph.D. in 1988 under the supervision of Jehan-François Pâris.[3][5]

While in graduate school, he served as a Lecturer in mathematics at San Diego State University and in computer science at the University of California, San Diego. After earning his Ph.D. he joined the faculty of the University of California, Santa Cruz. At UCSC, he has served as associate dean for research and graduate studies in the Jack Baskin School of Engineering,[6] and he directs the Storage Systems Research Center.[7] In the field of Computer Science, females are significantly underrepresented. He has been recognized for his success in producing female doctoral graduates in Computer Science.[8]

He has held visiting positions at the Université Paris–Dauphine (Paris IX), the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers, the Université Paris–Descartes (Paris V), the University of Technology, Sydney, the Center for Communications Research and is Professor ad Honorem de la Universidad Católica del Uruguay.[9] He was previously a visiting professor at the United States Naval Postgraduate School.[7]

He served as the Vice Chair and then Chair of the University of California Committee on Research Policy. He has served on the University of California President’s Council on the National Laboratories, and on the Science & Technology, National Security and Intelligence committees for those laboratories. He served for a number of years on the National Research Council's Standing Committee on Technology Insight-Gauge, Evaluate and Review (TIGER) and on the Committee on Defense Intelligence Agency Technology Forecasts and Reviews. He served on the National Research Council's Committee on Science and Technology for Defense Warning. He is also a member of the JASON Defense Advisory Group.[10]

Research

Long's research interests include computer data storage, operating systems, distributed computing, and computer security.[6] He has written highly cited research papers on web caching,[11] distributed file systems,[12] power-aware hard disk management in mobile computing,[13] and low-bandwidth multicast techniques for video on demand,[14] among other topics.

In 1991,[15] Long pioneered the idea of storing metadata separately from data in the Swift file system.[16] This idea became a central design concept in subsequent distributed file and storage systems, such as IBM TotalStorage/SAN (Storage Tank) and Ceph.

Awards and honors

Long became an IEEE Fellow in 2006 "for contributions to storage systems architecture and performance".[17] In 2008 he was inducted as a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[6]
