MANAGEMENT of COMMUNICATION NETWORKS and INFORMATION SYSTEMS
New technological advances and recent developments in research have revolutionized communication networks and systems. The Internet is still growing at a breathtaking pace and is rapidly evolving into an ubiquitous network able to accommodate differentiated classes of service to support various types of applications and business requirements. High-speed local area networks are indispensable in the office environment and, increasingly, in private homes. Localized wireless (ad hoc) networks are gaining in popularity. As the technology matures, systems-level issues have come to the foreground of research activities in this area.
Affiliated faculty aim at addressing critical and emerging systems-level issues in communication networks and systems. To that end, they draw upon a strong methodological base in systems and control theory, probability and stochastic processes, optimization, information theory, and operations research.
Significant contributions have been made in a variety of areas including Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning in broadband communication networks, performance analysis and simulation of communication systems, pricing and resource allocation, security, and all-optical network design.
