General Description
This project involves the study of network systems, particularly: architecture
design, planning, optimization, and analysis for telecommunications networks
for Earth, deep space (including Mars), and space-based industry. Related
research topics include: architecting and modeling techniques, quality, and
reliability; telecommunication networks, the OSI layer model, and protocols;
network design and optimization; artificial intelligence methodologies such as
mathematical learning, neural networks, and clustering; AI applications to
architectures and networks; and modeling and automating human decision making
process for intelligent communication systems.
Intelligent Internet Protocol
This work is being funded in part by a NASA grant for a proposal entitled
Reconfigurable Intelligent Internet Protocols for Space Communication
Networks
This proposal was in response to a NASA Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for
Human and Robotic Technology (H&RT), Solicitation Number: TB-04-02, Posted
Date: Jun 29, 2004, Classification Code: A - Research and Development, NAICS
Code: 541710 - Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life
Sciences
Proposal Abstract: Intelligent Internet Protocol, IIP, will be
developed for future space-based networks. IIP will be compatible and
interoperable with IP. It will be adaptive and reconfigurable to enable
packets, routers, and protocols to be modified or upgraded remotely. IIP will
be self-optimizing, fail-safe, secure, and intelligent with respect to energy
and computational constraints of space technologies. IIP simulation and
emulation tools will be also developed.
The development process of IIP is shown below.
