US-Turkey Cooperative Research: Routing and Flow Control for High Speed Communication Networks

产品描述：该奖项是为了支持哥伦布俄亥俄州州立大学电气工程教授Hitay Ozbay博士和土耳其埃斯基谢希尔阿纳多卢大学电气工程教授Altug Iftar博士之间的合作研究。 科学家们计划研究高速数据通信网络的动态路由和流量算法的发展。 来自土耳其的一个研究小组将调查具体的路由问题，美国小组将专注于流量控制问题。 对于流量控制，具体的鲁棒控制技术将开发一个通用的数学模型，这是一个变化的时间延迟系统。 路由控制器的设计目标是最小化总延迟和队列长度，并最大化网络的吞吐量。 这种合作的最终目标是在一个设计范例下集成路由和流量控制。 范围：该项目涉及两名具有互补资格的科学家。 他们将研究一个复杂科学问题的不同方面，以获得高速数据通信网络的综合算法。 他们将研究这些算法在几个重要应用中的实现。 两位科学家已经建立了工作关系，因此这项合作项目应该顺利和成功地进行。 这位土耳其科学家在土耳其一所相对较小的大学工作，这个项目将有助于建立与美国研究人员的联系。 该项目完全符合国际方案司的目标。

Description: This award is for the support of collaborative research between Dr. Hitay Ozbay, Professor of Electrical Engineering at Ohio State University in Columbus, and Dr. Altug Iftar, Professor of Electrical Engineering at Anadolu University in Eskisehir, Turkey. The scientists plan to study the development of dynamic routing and flow algorithms for high-speed data-communication networks. A team of researchers from Turkey will investigate specific routing problems, and the US team will concentrate on flow control issues. For flow control, specific robust control techniques will be developed for a generic mathematical model, which is a varying time delay system. The routing controller will be designed with the aim of minimizing total delay and queue length, and maximizing the throughput in the network. The ultimate goal of this collaboration is to integrate routing and flow control under one design paradigm. Scope: This project involves two scientists with complementary qualifications. They will work on different aspects of a complex scientific problem to obtain integrated algorithms for high speed data-communication networks. They will study the implementation of these algorithms in several important applications. The two scientists have already established a working relationship, so that this collaborative project should proceed smoothly and successfully. The Turkish scientist works at a relatively smally university in Turkey, and this project will help establigh its linkages to researchers in the United States. The project fits well within the objectives of the Division of International Programs.
