University-Industry Postdoctoral Fellow in Telecom/Combinatorics and Optimization

罗格斯大学的DIMACS中心和贝尔实验室/朗讯科技的数学科学研究中心将接待一名电信/组合数学和优化方面的博士后研究员。 组合数学和优化问题的解决方案，更具体地说，组合优化，是电信网络的基础。 这个博士后计划将探讨在组合学和优化躺在现代电信的前沿研究挑战。 最初的重点将放在因特网协议多媒体系统所产生的问题上，这是一种新的通信结构，能够在共同的客户-服务器IP基础上提供语音、数据和视频等多媒体服务，并能够迅速创建新的服务。 博士后研究员将介绍IMS架构和涉及此类网络可靠性的基本问题，例如在不同的边缘故障模型下，以及电信中产生的组合学和优化中的各种其他问题。 在工业界和大学研究人员的共同指导下，该研究员将致力于贝尔实验室现实问题所带来的理论和实践挑战。 她/他将参加DIMACS的研讨会和教育项目，并将为DIMACS教育模块系列编写数学和电信模块。 该GOALI项目由数学科学部（DMS）和MPS多学科活动办公室（OMA）共同资助。

The DIMACS Center at Rutgers University and the Mathematical Sciences Research Center at Bell Laboratories/Lucent Technologies will host a postdoctoral fellow in telecom/combinatorics and optimization. The solutions to problems of combinatorics and optimization, and more particularly combinatorial optimization, are fundamental to telecommunication networks. This postdoctoral program will explore research challenges in combinatorics and optimization lying at the forefront of modern telecommunications. The initial emphasis will be on problems arising from the Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia System (IMS), a new communication architecture that enables multimedia services such as voice, data and video over a common client-server IP foundation and enables rapid creation of new services. The postdoctoral fellow will be introduced to the IMS architecture and to fundamental problems involving reliability of such networks, for example under different models of edge failure, and also to a variety of other problems in combinatorics and optimization arising from telecom. Jointly mentored by industry and university researchers, the fellow will work on theoretical and practical challenges arising from real-world problems at Bell Labs. She/he will participate in workshops and educational programs at DIMACS and will write a module on mathematics and telecom for the DIMACS educational module series. This GOALI project was jointly funded by the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS) and the MPS Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA).
