Presidential Young Investigator Award (Computer Research)

首席研究员(PI)建议在分布式通信网络领域进行研究，特别强调其设计和控制。研究将集中于发展对分布式通信网络的瞬时行为的现实理解。其目的是提供设计方法，以最大限度地减少不良事件的发生频率，如缓冲区溢出和超大延迟--这些中断是网络性能下降的主要原因。

The principal investigator (PI) proposes to conduct research in the area of distributed communication networks, with particular emphasis on their design and control. Research will focus on developing a realistic understanding of the transient behavior of distributed communication networks. The aim is to provide design methodologies for minimizing the frequency of occurrence of undesirable events such as buffer overflows and inordinately large delays--the disruptions principally responsible for performance degradation in networks.
