Why review the CUBIN Research Program?
5
What do we want?
6
What do we want?

• To be a Tier 1 organization with
• Tier 1 researchers
• This means to have more impact

• Citations
• technology, products, services, standards

7
Top Tier 1 Example

• Active 1960-2004
• Number of Journal papers 35

IEEE IT Society Golden-Jubilee Paper Award
1998 IEEE Baker Prize Paper award 1966 William
Bennett Prize Paper Award for 1993 Prize Paper
Award for Infocom 1993 Guggenheim Fellow
1978 IEEE IT Soc. Shannon Award 1983 IEEE
Centennial Medal 1984 many many more
Real-world Contribution A founder of Codex
Corporation in 1962 (now part of Motorola). His
fundamental studies on quadrature amplitude
modulation and detection led directly to the 9600
bps modems that provided Codex's commercial
success.

Why review the CUBIN Research Program?

• Develop a consensus on future
• directions for CUBIN's research program
• Identify new and important research topics
• Promote collaborations among CUBIN researchers
• Encourage researchers to have clear real world
  focus -gt make more impact

Two quotes by Albert Einstein

• God always takes the simplest way.

• God does not care about our mathematical
  difficulties. He integrates empirically.

10
AIM of Telecom Research

• Design a telecommunications network that provides
  services at minimal cost
• Subject to meeting quality of service
  requirements

11
CUBINs Projects

• Broadband to the User
• Internet Security and Traffic Management
• Future Internet Technologies
• Networked Sensors and Distributed Information
  Processing

( Projects are not mutually exclusive)
12
Broadband to the User
Wireline and wireless broadband access to homes
and Businesses performance and design - cross
layers optimization Physical, MAC, network,
transport, session. Access technologies TDMA,
CDMA, OFDM, EPON, IEEE 802 standards etc. as
long as they apply to provision of gt 1Gb/s (?)
to the user.
13
Internet Security and Traffic Management
Provision of QoS (delay, loss) to the Internet
user ltmaybe it is a better title??gt Including
monitoring, control and traffic management
including defense against service denial attacks.
14
Future Internet Technologies

• Choice of technology for the core network
  what is the best way forward (e.g. comparing
  between OCS dynamic, OSC static and OBS)
• Provisions of methodologies and tools for
  understanding and performance evaluation of the
  various technology alternatives.
• Optimal (or near optimal) design of the future
  Internet

15
Networked Sensors and Distributed Information
Processing

• Search Engines
• Distributed Control
• Routing and Network Discovery
• Distributed Anomoly Detection
• Network Conditioning and Monitoring
• Ad-hoc wireless networks
• sensor networks
