Overview
Main Goal
The main goal of this project is to realize the vision of hierarchical network models that can automatically adapt to traffic characteristics and network management needs and to focus on new fundamental methods utilizing polymorphic models for traffic, analytical approximations, and hybrid multi-criteria optimization.
Innovative Ideas
- Develop robust multi-models of network traffic models of minimum complexity for network control and planning
- Assess the incremental utility of various network traffic models wrt speed, complexity, performance of function which uses them
- Evaluate the impact of various network traffic models (fitted to measured network traffic data)
- Model classes arranged in aggregation hierarchies
- Use on-line measurements for both on-line and off-line model construction, adaptation and selection
- Self-organized algorithms and systems that automatically select appropriate models and scale for the function
