  • Project Title: Complex Adaptive Networks for Computing and Communication (CANCCOM)
  • Short Project Description:
The growing complexity of high-speed networks makes the incorporation of advanced mathematical methodologies important for achieving efficient designs. Future high-speed networks require: i) topologies optimized with respect to costs, ii) compatible and secure communication protocols and iii) fault tolerance. In order to achieve the required performance characteristics, networks must be learning, adaptive and require major conceptual and technological advances over the current generation. The following issues need to be addressed: robustness, reliability, scalability, security and ease of use, management and operation.

This project is part of the Communication and Information Networks Research Consortium and the  Information Technology research projects of MITACS. It brings together a team of computer scientists, computer and systems engineers, statisticians, mathematicians and industrial partners to drive a joint research effort to develop innovative approaches to problems of next generation networks. The research areas of this project are network design, network computing: algorithms and protocols and network security.
