The recent development in computer network has enabled a rich set of Internet services and applications such email, online social networks (OSNs), and microblogging systems that are now a very important part of our daily lives. Many computer networks have dual properties. They are physical networks and at the same time human networks. It is tremendously important to exploit this social networking feature to design more efficient and more reliable communication systems. In this talk, I will illustrate, with several examples, how social networks can be integrated into system design. I will start by introducing several human mobility and social … Read more
Open M.Sc. thesis position: “Design and implementation of high-level Internet models on top of a distributed discrete event simulator”
posted in News, Open Positions, Studies
(Autumn 2012) Background: A clean-slate information-centric network (ICN) architecture for Internet is being developed in the PURSUIT EU project. The system under work includes a global rendezvous service based on hierarchical DHT consisting of thousands of nodes dispersed cover different autonomous systems. The evaluation of system of this size is difficult, as router-level simulations do not scale to the whole Internet and global prototype deployment is not feasible. Therefore, we are developing our own distributed discrete event simulator tool, that can be run in a computer cluster for large-scale models. In addition, we have been collecting and combining existing data … Read more
