An Interior Path Vector Routing Protocol for the Internet
|
|
Today's intra-domain protocols are limited in their scalability. We examine these limitations and propose an alternative in the form of an IGP based on path vectors. Taking advantage of the recent research interest in BGP's performance, we are able to develop a protocol that converges quickly, produces a relatively low level of control-plane traffic and promises to scale to very large networks, while still producing shortest path trees based on minimising latency or maximising bandwidth.

Sensor Networks (D-Systems)
|
|
Sensor networks comprise a large number of low-cost miniaturised computers each acting
autonomously and equipped with short-range wireless communication, limited processing
and memory, and a physical sensing capability. Sensor networks have exciting applications
but introduce significant long-term research challenges.

Scalable Context-Aware Systems
|
|
As wireless Internet access becomes ubiquitous, tourists and other users will wish to access
up-to-date information about accommodation and events that is tailored to their location,
preferences, weather forecast, etc, i.e. their "context". Making such systems scalable is a
key challenge, providing motivation for this work to study context-aware data management,
distribution and fault adaptation.

|
Next-generation wireless networks will be composed of a heterogeneous mix of local,
metro and wide-area access networks. This research is investigating quality of
service-based handoff between different networks, using a decision model for evaluating
the benefit of initiating a vertical handoff.
