US-France Cooperative Research: Design and Evaluation of Protocols for Wireless Multi-Hop Ad Hoc Networks

这个为期两年的奖项支持加州大学圣克鲁斯分校的Katia Obraczka和Alexandre Brandwajn以及法国巴黎皮埃尔和玛丽居里大学的Serge Fdida网络和性能小组的合作研究项目。目标是发起一项关于无线多跳自组织网络（manet）协议设计和评估的国际研究伙伴关系。Fdida和Obraczka的专长是网络协议的设计和实验性能评估。他们都扩大了对manet的研究。这与Brandwajn教授在系统建模和分析性能评估方面的专业知识相辅相成。他们将共同使用模拟和分析建模评估技术的组合来验证协议。具体而言，他们将重点关注以下主题：面向manet的集成路由协议；manet可靠组播；传感器网络的高效数据采集协议以及传感器网络的节能通道接入。该项目由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）和法国国家科学研究中心（CNRS）联合资助。美国国家科学基金会将支付美国调查人员访问法国的费用。CNRS为访问美国提供资金。

0341162ObraczkaThis two-year award supports a cooperative research project between Katia Obraczka and Alexandre Brandwajn of the University of California at Santa Cruz and Serge Fdida'sNetwork and Performance Group at the University Pierre and Marie Curie in Paris, France. The objective is to initiate an international research partnership on the design and evaluation of protocols for wireless multi-hop ad hoc networks (MANETs).Drs. Fdida's and Obraczka's expertise is in design and experimental performance evaluation of network protocols. They have both expanded their research efforts to investigate MANETs. This is complemented by Prof. Brandwajn's expertise in systems modeling and analytical performance evaluation. Together, they will validate the protocols by using a combination of simulation and analytical modeling evaluation techniques.Specifically, they will focus on the following topics: integrated routing protocols for MANETs; reliable multicast for MANETs; efficient data collection protocols for sensor networks; and energy-efficient channel access for sensor networks.This project is jointly supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS). NSF will cover the costs of visits to France by the U.S. investigators. The CNRS provides funding for visits to the United States.
