Support for most of my research projects comes from the National Science Foundation and industrial partners such as Comcast, Sprint Labs, Nortel Networks, and Siemens (see individual project pages for details).
The paper entitled “Controlling the Growth of Internet Routing Tables Through Market Mechanisms” co-authored with K.-W. Kwong has been accepted for presentation at the ACM ReArch 2010 Workshop, Philadelphia, PA, November 2010.
Our Ipv6 Monitoring project and associated web site are now “officially” live (see the recent presentation -the audio unfortunately only starts about 7 mins into the presentation- at the Summer 2010 ESCC/Internet2 Joint Techs conference). This is a joint project with Comcast and supported in part by Comcast (see Comcast's own monitor web site). Send me an email if you are interested in running a local version of the software (please note that this implicitly assumes you are willing to allow uploading of your monitoring data into the global repository maintained at Penn)
The paper entitled “Fostering IPv6 Migration Through Network Quality Differentials” co-authored with K. Hosanagar has been published in the July 2010 issue of the ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review.
The paper entitled “Balancing Performance,Robustness and Flexibility in Routing Systems” co-authored with K.-W. Kwong, A. Shaikh and S. Tao was accepted for publication in the IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management.
The paper entitled “Safe Inter-domain Routing under Diverse Commercial Agreements” co-authored with Y. Liao, L. Gao, and Z.-L. Zhang was accepted for publication in the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (DOI 10.1109/TNET.2010.2049858).
The paper entitled “Modeling the Dynamics of Network Technology Adoption and the Role of Converters,” co-authored with S. Sen, Y. Jin and K. Hosanagar was accepted for publication in the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (DOI: 10.1109/TNET.2010.2048923).
I received the 2010 IEEE INFOCOM Achievement Award for “Pioneering Contributions to the Theory and Practice of QoS in Networks.” The award was presented during the opening session of the 2010 IEEE INFOCOM Conference that was held March 15-19, 2010, in beautiful San Diego, CA.
The paper entitled “On the Feasibility and Efficacy of Protection Routing in IP Networks,” co-authored with K.-W. Kwong, L. Gao, and Z.-L. Zhang was presented at INFOCOM 2010, San Diego, CA, March 2010.
The paper entitled “Interactions, Competition and Innovation in a Service-Oriented Internet: An Economic Model,” co-authored with Z.-L. Zhang, P. Nabipay, and A. Odlyzko was presented at the IEEE INFOCOM 2010 Mini-conference, San Diego, CA, March 2010.
Applications can be completed on-line using the ApplyYourself system. The application deadline for Fall 2011 admission is December 15, 2010. I will most likely admit at least one more Ph.D. student next Fall. In case you are interested in working with me, make sure you select in your application at least one of the two following areas of interest: “Social and Technological Networks” and “Wired and Wireless Communication Networks”.
The first area deals with topics that naturally arise in a “networked” environment where users, technology, services interact in a complex manner and together influence each others as well as the evolution of the entire networked systems. Some of the “network economics” projects I am currently involved in fall in that area. The second area targets more traditional networking issues such as routing, traffic engineering, network protocols and network usage, with an emphasis on making the various components of this key infrastructure as simple and robust as possible, so as to achieve the goal of an always on Internet.
My research is carried out under the auspices of the Multimedia and Networking Lab; a multi-disciplinary lab involving several faculty and exploring a variety of topics broadly connected by their dependency on “networks.” These topics span the various protocols layers, from the physical layer to the application layer, and embody the many opportunities and challenges behind realizing and leveraging ubiquitous communication. Projects in the lab also often involve a mixture of analysis and experiments, with experiments taking advantage of the several local and global testbeds available, many of which were built using equipment generously donated by industry partners.
