Efficient and fair context-aware resource allocation in networks

本项目旨在通过利用应用程序上下文更有效地分配资源，为竞争需求之间的互联网资源分配开发一个灵活的数学框架。该项目将扩展现有的框架，通过考虑与用户有关的各时期的利益，在每个时期独立分配资源。该项目的预期结果是设计下一代拥堵避免协议的系统方法，该协议可以预测和适应不同类型的需求。这项计划将带来显著的效益，包括提供更佳的互联网服务，以及以新方法解决交通挤塞问题，对环境和社会都有好处。

This project aims to develop a flexible mathematical framework for internet resource allocation among competing demands by exploiting application context to allocate resources more efficiently. The project will extend an existing framework which allocates resources independently at each time period, by considering benefits over periods of time relevant to users. The expected outcome of this project is a systematic method for designing next-generation congestion-avoidance protocols that anticipate and accommodate different types of demand. This project will provide significant benefits including better provision of internet services and new ways to help combat traffic congestion, bringing benefits to both the environment and society.
