Overcoming the Scalability Challenge in Problems Associated with Network Performance Evaluation and Optimization

Prof. Moshe Zukerman
Chair Professor of Information Engineering
City University of Hong Kong

Date: September 4, 2015 (Friday)
Time: 2:30 - 3:30 pm
Venue: RRS905, Sir Run Run Shaw Building, Ho Sin Hang Campus

Abstract
In this talk, several networking research problems will be presented for which scalable models and analyses can provide useful answers.

These will include an optimization problem that aims to minimize cost of a multilayer network model that considers stochastic traffic composed of heavy tailed flows. It will enable decisions on flow size dependent routing and the choice of dynamic optical circuit switching.

In addition, the talk will include a discussion on models and related performance analyses of optical networks and on evaluation of the potential capacity savings achieved by wavelength conversion.
