Research in Networking (NSF Workshop Report) Cs5090: Advanced Computer Networks, fall 2004 Michigan Tech University Byung Choi
New Applications and Paradigms Ubiquitous Tele-Presence Sensing Everywhere Response and Disaster Recovery Networks
Grand Challenges Network Information Theory for Wireless Networks Overlay Networks Resilient Networking Providing Market Incentives (The Economics of Networking) Sensorized Universe Virtual Networks
Successful Cases of Networking Research Multiple Access FDMA, TDMA, CDMA QoS (Quality of Service) Delay, Jitter, Loss Optical Networks Ultimate Bandwidth? Congestion Control Dynamic demand and fixed supply
Research Cycle? Does it work? (functionality) How well does it work? (performance) Does it scale? (scalability) Is it compatible with upcoming new services? (evolve-ability) Is it secure? (security) Is it resilient? (dependability)
Biggest Lesson! Visionary Applications, the real driving force of networking research!
The Science of Scientific Writing Does the experiments prove the hypotheses? Introduction Related Work Model/Assumptions/etc New solution (algorithm, methodology, etc) Evaluation (analytical, simulation-based, implementation-based, survey, etc..) Conclusions/future work
The Science of Scientific Writing Understand what the reader needs. Making a single sentence mean one and only one thing! Hard to read? Drop it!
