Algorithms and implementations for internet communications

The Internet is becoming an increasingly useful means of conducting business, and delivering education and services. The growth in Internet traffic continues unabated in spite of the readjustment which started in 2001 and lasted for a number of years. The confidence of businesses in the Internet must be fostered through increasing the ability of the service providers to meet their Service Level Agreement (SLA) while extending the underlying technologies into emerging areas of use. This proposal targets research to improve the Quality of Service (QoS) of networks, implement control paradigms for real time process control, and to establish new methods for the efficient implementation of wireless networks both for mobility and sensor networks. This work will improve the performance and usefulness of the Internet in a number of application areas, and hence will contribute to Canadian business and research efforts.
