Queueing systems and their application to telecommunication systems and dams. The aim of this project is to investigate the behaviour of large queueing systems under critical load conditions and solve problems related to large telecommunication systems, information technologies and dams. The project will have significant economic and social benefits. It will lead to the solution of high priority problems of optimal control of water resources, as well as problems in design technology of high spee ....Queueing systems and their application to telecommunication systems and dams. The aim of this project is to investigate the behaviour of large queueing systems under critical load conditions and solve problems related to large telecommunication systems, information technologies and dams. The project will have significant economic and social benefits. It will lead to the solution of high priority problems of optimal control of water resources, as well as problems in design technology of high speed telecommunication networks. It will suggest new more profitable approaches to known problems such as effective bandwidth problem, analysis and design of computer networks, optimal control of dams, and anticipate not ordinary results and solutions. It will contribute to the mathematical culture in Australia and worldwide. Read moreRead less
Increasing internet energy and cost efficiency by improving higher-layer protocols. Australians rely heavily on our telecommunications infrastructure due to our geographic dispersion. We are also very susceptible to climate change, given our reliance on agriculture. Information technology is consuming a rapidly increasing fraction of our power and our budget. This research will help to reverse both those trends, by finding novel and practical ways to use our infrastructure more efficiently, and ....Increasing internet energy and cost efficiency by improving higher-layer protocols. Australians rely heavily on our telecommunications infrastructure due to our geographic dispersion. We are also very susceptible to climate change, given our reliance on agriculture. Information technology is consuming a rapidly increasing fraction of our power and our budget. This research will help to reverse both those trends, by finding novel and practical ways to use our infrastructure more efficiently, and to minimise its energy use. This will enable the Australian telecommunications industry to provide better service (including to Australian industries and rural communities) at lower economic and environmental cost. This project will put Australia on the international stage as a leading contributor to energy-efficient internet technology.Read moreRead less
