U.S.-Greece Cooperative Research: High-Speed Integrated Services Communication Networks

这一为期两年的奖项将支持麻省理工学院的约翰·齐西克利斯与克里特大学的科斯塔斯·库库贝蒂斯教授和马诺利斯·卡特韦尼斯教授以及希腊研究与技术基金会(第四)之间的合作。合作的重点将是高速综合业务通信网络的性能分析、拥塞控制和定价。国际船级社还将与雅典国立技术大学的Psaraftis教授就不确定情况下的船只航线进行合作。PI为合作带来了开发近似动态规划方法的专业知识，而希腊同行通过广泛参与ATM网络定价和ATM交换机设计的尖端项目带来了方法专业知识。这项研究的目的是为这一领域的关键问题制定清晰和有洞察力的表述，并着手进行解析或计算解决方案。

This two-year award will support a collaboration between John Tsitsiklis at MIT and Professors Costas Courcoubetis and Manolis Katevenis of the University of Crete and the Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH) in Greece. The collaboration will focus on performance analysis, congestion control, and pricing in high- speed integrated services communication networks. The PI will also collaborate with Professor Psaraftis of the National Technical University of Athens on vessel routing under uncertainty. The PI brings to the collaboration expertise in the development of approximate dynamic programming methods, and the Greek counterparts bring methodological expertise from their extensive involvement in cutting edge projects in pricing in ATM networks and design of ATM switches. The objective of the research is to develop clean and insightful formulations of key problems in this area and to proceed with an analytic or computational solution.
