提案编号：MRI 09-23481PI(s): Chen， yuhui机构：休斯顿大学休斯顿，TX 77204-2015标题：MRI/Dev。支持远程手术、远程医疗和异构应用的可重构DWDM多模式交换平台该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。项目建议：本项目开发密集波分复用（DWDM）多模式交换平台仪器，支持远程外科、远程医疗和异构应用，允许应用内不同类型的消息从电子分组交换（EPS）、光突发交换（OBS）和光电路交换（OCS）三种交换模式中进行选择。在使用EPS模式传输机器人短控制信息的同时，远程手术等应用有望从使用OBS模式或OCS模式传输超高带宽多视图3d高清（HD）视频的方法中受益。多模交换平台将采用高性能可重构现场可编程门阵列（FPGA）系统和光交换节点一起开发。开发的平台可以远程提供给网络研究人员和GENI基础设施。通过路由器架构实现的DWDM多模交换平台允许在同一路由器平台上支持上述三种交换模式（EPS、OBS和OCS），为应用提供了最大的灵活性。光纤中的每个DWDM信道可以根据动态业务负载单独重新配置为不同的交换模式。此外，该方法允许使用最适合的交换模式传输应用程序中的单个应用程序或单个类型的消息，以实现最佳性能。更广泛的影响：这项工作可以改变提供优质医疗服务的方式。远程外科手术和远程医疗使无法在当地获得这些资源的居民能够远程共享医疗专家和资源。在促进路由器设计、网络管理和应用程序设计方面的研究机会和合作的同时，正在开发的平台仪器可以为网络研究人员提供研究基础设施，并有可能统一两个经常分裂的研究团体：电子分组交换和光交换。女研究员在WELCOME （Women for Engineering Learning Community for maximize Excellence）中担任导师，积极招募和留住工程领域的女性。她接待了两名少数民族和谐科学院的学生。

Proposal #: MRI 09-23481PI(s): Chen, YuhuaInstitution: University of Houston Houston, TX 77204-2015Title: MRI/Dev.: Reconfigurable DWDM Multi-Mode Switching Platform for Supporting Telesurgery Telemedicine and Heterogeneous ApplicationsThis award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).Project Proposed:This project, developing a dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) multi-mode switching platform instrument, supports telesurgery, telemedicine, and heterogeneous applications by allowing different types of messages within an application to choose from three switching modes: (electronic packet switching (EPS), optical burst switching (OBS), and optical circuit switching (OCS). While using the EPS mode to transfer short robotic control messages, applications such as telesurgery are expected to benefit from the approach by using the OBS mode or the OCS mode to transfer the ultra high bandwidth multi-view 3-D high definition (HD) video. The multi-mode switching platform will be developed using high performance reconfigurable field programmable gate array (FPGA) system along with optical switching nodes. The platform developed can be made available remotely to networking researchers and to the GENI infrastructure. The DWDM multi-mode switching platform enabled by the router architecture allows the three switching paradigms mentioned above (i.e., EPS, OBS, and OCS) to be supported on the same router platform, providing the greatest flexibility to applications. Each DWDM channel in an optical fiber can be individually reconfigured to a different switching mode based on the dynamic traffic load. Additionally, the approach allows individual application or individual type of messages within an application to be transported using the best-suited switching mode to achieve the best performance.Broader Impacts: This work can change the way quality medical services that can be delivered. Telesurgery and telemedicine allow medical experts and resources to be shared remotely by residents who do not have local access to such resources. While fostering research opportunities and collaborations in router designs, network management, and application designs, the platform instrument under development can provide research infrastructure to networking researchers and potentially unify the two often-divided research communities: the electronic packet switching and the optical switching.
