CAREER: A Career Development Plan for Research and Education in High Speed Networks

该提案描述了PI未来五年及以后的研究和教育计划。研究计划的一部分侧重于设计和分析网络控制算法，用于检测和控制由媒体事件刺激的焦点过载。目标是设计新的网络控制算法，通过限制允许进入网络的事件相关请求的速率或通过动态创建资源来满足需求来消除这些集中的过载。研究计划的另一部分侧重于并行和分布式服务器技术的设计。关键目标是设计服务器的软件和硬件架构，使它们在网络过载和不稳定的情况下具有可伸缩性、容错性和健壮性。教育计划的重点是在本科和研究生阶段开发新的课程，重点是实验和原型设计。此外，这些课程将发展行业开发下一代高速网络应用所需的关键专业领域。教育计划包括积极参与大学和周边社区的一些具体的外展项目。这些外展计划的目标是确保每个人都能获得信息，并展示全球信息网络中的机会。这个项目的URL是http://networks.cs.ucdavis.edu/~ghosal/CAREER

This proposal describes the PI's research and education plans for the next five years and beyond. One part of the research plan focuses on the the design and analysis of network control algorithms for detection and control of focused overloads that are stimulated by media events. The goal is to design new network control algorithms which can dissipate these focused overloads either by limiting the rate at which event related requests are allowed into the network or by dynamically creating resources to meet the demand. The other part of the research plan focuses on the design of parallel and distributed server technologies. The key aim is to design the software and hardware architectures of the servers such that they are scalable, fault-tolerant, and robust under network overloads and instabilities. The education plan focuses on developing new curriculum, both at the undergraduate and the graduate levels with emphasis on experimentation and prototyping. Furthermore, these courses will develop the key areas of expertise that the industry needs to develop applications for the next generation high-speed networks. The education plan involves active participation in a few specific outreach programs both within the university and the surrounding community. The goal of these outreach programs is to ensure that the information is available to everybody and to demonstrate the opportunities in a global information network.
