NeTS-NBD: Collaborative Research: Intelligent and Adaptive Networking for the Next Generation Internet

该项目研究下一代网络技术和系统，能够理解和学习网络的高级视角。所提出的方法追求一种新的认知智能网络范式，它保持了当今互联网的成功，但也将认知智能纳入网络——一种新的网络技术，它提供了网络知道它被要求做什么的能力，这样它就可以在学习更多的过程中逐步照顾自己。特别是，我们探索了新的网络架构和网络元素，它们将导致未来的网络具有(a)改进的鲁棒性和适应性，(b)改进的可用性和可理解性，(c)改进的安全性和稳定性，以及(d)减少操作和配置的人为干预。本项目通过设计和建模新的脑反射认知智能架构、智能可编程网络元素架构和智能网络控制与管理设计，进行一系列综合研究，寻求创新。更广泛的影响：团队方法涵盖神经科学，数据挖掘，计算机科学，系统工程，人工智能和网络，将为学生提供丰富的学习机会，超越他们的主要研究领域。由教师开发的新课程将传播涵盖神经科学和信息技术的新材料。

This project investigates the Next Generation Network Technology and Systems capable of understanding and learning the high-level perspective of the network. The proposed approach pursues a new cognitive intelligent networking paradigm that maintains the success of today's Internet but which also incorporates cognitive intelligence in the network--a new networking technique that provides the ability for the network to know what it is being asked to do, so that it can step-by-step take care of itself as it learns more. In particular, we explore new networking architecture and network elements that will lead to a future network with (a) improved robustness and adaptability, (b) improved usability and comprehensibility, (c) improved security and stability, and (d) reduced human intervention for operation and configuration. This project pursues a set of comprehensive studies that seek innovations through the design and modeling of a new brain-reflex cognitive intelligence architecture, an intelligent programmable network elements architecture, and an intelligent network control and management design. Broader Impact: The team approach covering neuroscience, datamining, computer science, systems engineering, artificial intelligence, and networking will provide rich opportunities for students to learn beyond their primary fields of study. New courses developed by the faculty members will disseminate the new material covering neuroscience and information technology.
