Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The proposed equipment will reinforce research collaborations between the Departments of Computer Science, and Electronic & Electrical Engineering, and will provide a vital new link to UCL@Adastral.Park, UCL's new Research and Postgraduate Centre for the Communications and Information Industries established at Martlesham in association with industry (founding partners: Agilent, BT, Coming, Marconi and Nortel Networks).The equipment will provide an experimental platform for our interdisciplinary research on advanced networking. Aspects of interest include decentralized control, organisation and optimisation paradigms for the converged combination of network, computing and storage resources. The geographically dispersed nature of the infrastructure will provide a realistic experimental environment. Of particular interest are the use of strategies inspired from disciplines such as the biological sciences to achieve a degree of adaptability and robustness.An important further use of the platform will be to facilitate experimental `applications-oriented' research, where virtual presence and remote collaborative working will afford the assessment of crucially important human factors and usability issues.Accordingly the new equipment will greatly enhance and complement the experimental facilities and capabilities available to geographically dispersed but collaborating UCL researchers. It will further enable us to conduct leading edge experimental research on a state-of-the-art network of significant geographical scale.
