Presidential Young Investigator Award: Communication Networks and Optimization Methods

这位总统青年研究员建议使用他的PYI奖来研究分析通信协议性能的新方法，通过寻找聚合或分解协议状态的方法（沿着其结构产生的边界），并分析所产生的状态子集之间的动态。此外，他还在研究确定性网络模型中的动态信息路由，通信站之间的调度对话以及网络设计的拓扑结构。他也在研究局部搜索优化算法，如模拟退火。

This Presidential Young Investigator proposes to use his PYI award to investigate new methods to analyze the performance of communication protocols by looking for methods that aggregate or decompose states of a protocol (along boundaries that arise form its structure and analyze the dynamics between the resulting subsets of states. In addition, he is studying dynamic routing of information in deterministic network models, scheduling conversation between communication stations, and the topology of design of networks. He is also studying local search optimization algorithms such as simulated annealing.
