CNE @ ECE.NCSU.EDU Mihail L. Sichitiu http://networking.ncsu.edu

Overview At NC State, one of the larger networking faculty groups anywhere (15+) Spans ECE and CSC departments: All networking courses cross-listed Take the ECE courses if possible (it simplifies things) Advising research students Collaborating for research ECE → CNE, CSC → CNC Networking vs Communications Physical Data Link Network Transport Application

ECE Networking Faculty Yannis Viniotis Michael Devetsikiotis Mihail L. Sichitiu Wenye Wang Do Young Eun Cloud Nets, Software Defined Networks, Socio-technical interactions, Aware networks, DGP Wireless Wireless, Security, Smart Grid Network modeling and performance analysis , Wireless, mobility modeling Our research areas cover a large spectrum and inter-mesh with each others. 3
