Design and Development of New Mechanisms and Algorithms for Service-Centric Networks
EF 2017-18
Résumé
We have witnessed the phenomenal growth of the Internet in the past two decades. This growth is increasingly driven by the introductions of new applications such as P2P computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), IPTV, online gaming, social networking, and web searching. While these new applications typically require contents being replicated and distributed over different locations, users are also becoming more mobile and multi-homed with widespread adoption of smart phones and tablets. These demands for mobility and multiplicity cannot be efficiently supported with the current core of the Internet, which is a host-centric environment that provides point-to-point connectivity between fixed attachments. Recent success on cloud computing has inspired the enthusiasm for virtualization technology. Virtualized appliances can be instantiated dynamically over shared commodity-based hardware infrastructure, leading to lower cost and customized services. While there are many benefits with virtualization technology, how to support mobility and multiplicity under virtualized environment is the top issue that needs to be addressed. Our short-term goal is to design and develop some key new mechanisms and algorithms that can enable virtualization technology to support mobility and multiplicity. In specifics, we propose to create a novel domain-dependent namespace with associated protocols and mechanisms for supporting multiplicity and mobility and develop innovative algorithms that can facilitate dynamic resource sharing and improve system performance while accommodating multiplicity and mobility. This proposed program is part of our long-term efforts to design and develop new mechanisms and algorithms for transforming the Internet into a service-centric network that can enrich peoples daily lives at large with reduced costs and numerous new services. It will provide unique and extensive training opportunities for highly qualified personnel and help Canada maintain leadership in information technology.
