Dear All,
The agenda for the seminar is listed below.
Speaker1*: ***Juliusz Chroboczek
Title: Babel -- a routing protocol for hybrid networks
Abstract:
Babel is a loop-avoiding routing protocol that was originally designed
to be efficient and robust in both wired networks and wireless meshes.
Babel is a modular protocol, and cleanly separates the routing core from
metric computation and route selection, which makes it easy to adapt to
new situations. In this talk, I will make a quick introduction to the
Babel routing protocol. I will show how routing loops occur in other
protocols, and how Babel manages to avoid them. I will also describe
our recent work on extending the protocol to new situations, notably
source-sensitive routing and delay-based routing.
Bio:
Juliusz Chroboczek is a lecturer at the University Paris-Diderot. He is
the designer and main implementer of the Babel routing protocol.
Currently, his research revolves around implementing and evaluating
unusual routing paradigms. He previously worked on efficiently
implementing concurrency using source-to-source transformations.
Speaker2*: ***Anders Lindgren
Title: Understanding human behaviour in cellular networks
Abstract:
Traffic from wireless and mobile devices is expected to soon exceed
traffic from fixed devices. Understanding the behaviour of users on
mobile devices is thus very important in order to improve the offered
services and the provision of the underlying network. In this talk, I
will present some preliminary work on analysis of a large (5TB) data set
of traffic traces from a national cellular network operator, and our
initial findings. I will present some overall statistics of the network
usage, and then go into some more detailed results for one particular
application, and study the characteristics of YouTube user requests in
the network.Our results provide an insight into the way people use
YouTube on mobile devices, and we also show some potential of
performance enhancements possible through caching of video content in
the access network.
Bio:
Anders Lindgren received his Ph.D. from Luleå University of Technology
in 2006. He is currently working at SICS, the Swedish Institute of
Computer Science, as a senior researcher. His research interests include
opportunistic and information-centric networking, communication and
computation in challenged environments, efficient IoT, and big data
analytics for mobile networks.
