  • Project Title: Complex Adaptive Networks for Computing and Communication (CANCCOM)
  • Project Leader: Prof. Michel Barbeau , Carleton University, barbeau@scs.carleton.ca
  • Short Project Description: The growing complexity of high-speed networks makes the incorporation of advanced mathematical methodology important for achieving efficient designs

    Future high-speed networks involve designing topologies which are optimized with respect to costs within the limits of physical constraints, testing for interface compatibility, allocation of resources under both normal and abnormal conditions. In order to achieve the required performance characteristics, these networks must be adaptive, learning networks and require a major conceptual and technological advance over the current generation of networks that will be: robust, reliable, scalable and easy to use and operate.

    This MITACS project brings together a team of mathematicians, computer scientists and computer and systems engineers to develop a joint research effort with industrial partners to develop innovative approaches to these problems.

    The research areas of this project are network design, network computing: algorithms and protocols, and network security.
