• RESEARCH SUMMARY AND SCOPE
  Routing performs a collection of inter-dependent and mutually-interacting procedures that exchange information in order to choose a communication path between a pair of nodes. Its main requirements involve reliable message delivery and selection of optimal routes. Complexity of routing algorithms is due to node-coordination, and link- and node-failures that require redirection of traffic and/or updating of the forwarding databases maintained at the network nodes. Performance is affected by the underlying physical network topology which defines the interconnection architecture of the nodes, thus leading to tradeoffs among various performance parameters, like shortest path, node congestion, link latency, throughput, size of forwarding data bases, etc. Goal of the workshop is to do research on problems of network routing. Topics of interest are, but are not limited, to
  • Routing in Communication, Interconnection, and Geometric Networks
  • Uni-, Multi-, Geo-, Broadcast, and Point-to-Point algorithms
  • Algorithmic Performance Efficiency Tradeoffs
  • Modern Perspectives and Paradigms (Ad-hoc, Sensor, Wireless Networks)
  • Mechanisms for Efficient, Secure, and Robust Routing
  • Mobile Agent Computing
• ORGANIZATION/PARTICIPATION
  There are no formal talks. In the first morning, participants will propose open problems and provide perspectives. We work on the proposed problems for the rest of the week. Several students will attend (so they can start familiarizing with this style of work). Total number of attendees will be about 15-20. Participation is only by invitation.
