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.
