Efficient and fair context-aware resource allocation in networks

该项目旨在开发一个灵活的数学框架，用于在相互竞争的需求之间分配互联网资源，方法是利用应用程序上下文来更有效地分配资源。该项目将扩展现有的框架，通过考虑与用户有关的一段时间的利益，在每个时间段独立分配资源。该项目的预期结果是设计下一代拥塞避免协议的系统方法，该协议能够预测和适应不同类型的需求。该项目将带来显著的好处，包括更好地提供互联网服务和帮助解决交通拥堵的新方法，带来环境和社会的好处。

This project aims to develop a flexible mathematical framework for internet resource allocation among competing demands by exploiting application context to allocate resources more efficiently. The project will extend an existing framework which allocates resources independently at each time period, by considering benefits over periods of time relevant to users. The expected outcome of this project is a systematic method for designing next-generation congestion-avoidance protocols that anticipate and accommodate different types of demand. This project will provide significant benefits including better provision of internet services and new ways to help combat traffic congestion, bringing benefits to both the environment and society.
