CAREER: Design, Modeling, and Control of High Performance Communication Networks

该项目的目标是促进高性能通信网络的设计、建模和控制方面的理论和实践。该项目的范围包括高速有线网络的系统级问题，以及有线/无线网络的互连。该项目的研究内容将集中在三个重点领域：(1)高速网络的交换结构和控制算法；(2)无线网络的移动性、连通性和控制；(3)网络建模和仿真方法。我们提出的这些领域的研究计划有望对大规模、高速、异质通信网络的设计、建模和控制做出重大贡献。将通过下列活动将研究和教育结合起来：(1)指导研究生和本科生的研究项目；(2)共同编写一本关于高性能网络的建模和分析的研究生级两卷教科书；(3)教授通信网络领域的本科生和研究生课程；(4)开发和维护一个最新的数据网络实验室，为学生提供现代网络操作和配置的实践经验。

The objective of this project is to advance theory and practice in the design, modeling and control of high performance communication networks. The scope of the project encompasses system-level issues in high-speed wireline networks, and interconnecting of wireline/wireless networks. The research component of the project will be directed in three focus areas: (1) switch architectures and control algorithms for high speed networks; (2) mobility, connectivity and control of wireless networks; and (3) network modeling and simulation methodologies. Our proposed program of research in these areas is expected to make significant contributions to the design, modeling and control of large-scale, high-speed, heterogeneous communication networks. Research and education will be integrated through the following activities: (1) supervision of graduate and undergraduate research projects; (2) co-authoring of a graduate level two-volume textbook on modeling and analysis of high performance networks; (3) teaching of undergraduate and graduate level courses in the area of communication networks; and (4) development and maintenance of an up-to-date data networking laboratory that will provide students with hands-on experience in the operation and configuration of modern networks.
