This project aims to investigate and provide solutions for the realisation of a seemingly integrated Fog Computing (FC) paradigm with cloud environments, networking devices and Internet of Things devices. Fog Computing (FC) is an emerging paradigm with great promises for advancing Information and Communications Technologies. Using interdisciplinary approaches, the project expects to generate new knowledge for optimising both hardware and software resources of a FC system. Outcomes of this project include practical solutions through building novel mathematical frameworks and optimisation objectives. The project is expected to provide efficient monitoring and control of intelligent spaces, management of urban and rural environments and will have applications in the areas of energy, security, transport and public health.Read moreRead less
Congestion control of networks: a unified stochastic framework. Systems such as the internet, wireless networks and the power grid require efficient allocation of shared resources. This research will develop ways to reduce delays in the internet and allow for growth in the power grid, without requiring additional infrastructure.
Easing urban congestion through intelligent use of distributed information. Vehicle-to-vehicle wireless communication can be a solution to road traffic congestion and control without enormous additional infrastructure costs. This project will investigate the fundamental properties of such solution and to devise the practical policies and protocols resulting in interacting game-like behaviours.
Efficient and fair context-aware resource allocation in networks. This project aims to develop a flexible mathematical framework for internet resource allocation among competing demands by exploiting application context to allocate resources more efficiently. The project will extend an existing framework which allocates resources independently at each time period, by considering benefits over periods of time relevant to users. The expected outcome of this project is a systematic method for desig ....Efficient and fair context-aware resource allocation in networks. This project aims to develop a flexible mathematical framework for internet resource allocation among competing demands by exploiting application context to allocate resources more efficiently. The project will extend an existing framework which allocates resources independently at each time period, by considering benefits over periods of time relevant to users. The expected outcome of this project is a systematic method for designing next-generation congestion-avoidance protocols that anticipate and accommodate different types of demand. This project will provide significant benefits including better provision of internet services and new ways to help combat traffic congestion, bringing benefits to both the environment and society.Read moreRead less
