It will emphasize fundamental systems issues in networking and survey a variety of techniques that have recently been used to address them, including, queueing theory, optimization, large deviations, Markov decision theory, and game theory. Topics will vary from year to year, depending on recent developments in the field. Some illustrative topics include: Network Services and Layered Architectures; Performance Analysis in Networks; Multi-access communications; Routing; Traffic Modeling; Traffic Management and Congestion Control; Flow Control and TCP\/IP; Network Economics and Pricing; and Scheduling and Resource Allocation in Sensor and ad-hoc wireless networks.<\/p>\n<h3>Instructor<\/h3>\n<p>Yannis Paschalidis<\/p>\n<p><!--\n\n\n<h3>Course Information<\/h3>\n\n\nPick up a hard copy of a more detailed <a href=\"http:\/\/ionia.bu.edu\/Teaching\/SE755\/ci.pdf\">course information sheet<\/a>.\n\n\n<h3>Lecture Notes and Problem sets<\/h3>\n\n\nLecture notes will be posted (in postscript) within a day after each lecture.
