Prof. Nasir Ghani de l’Université du Nouveau Mexique (USA) donnera une conférence le vendredi 18 juin 2010, Amphithéâtre Saphir, 12h00-12h45.
Abstract:
Network operators are deploying a wide range of metro/core technologies today, including optical DWDM, IP/MPLS, and Carrier-grade Ethernet. As these technologies continue to proliferate, there is a pressing need to provision services across a multitude of layers and domains, particularly multi-carrier settings. These needs are being driven by users in both the commercial world as well as in the scientific research community, i.e., “e-science”. As a result, multi-domain/multi-layer networking has become a key focus area, and there are many open challenges in topics relating to inter-domain routing, traffic engineering (TE) provisioning, and survivability. Along these lines, this talk will overview this broad space and present some of the related research being done at the High-Speed Networking Laboratory at UNM. An overview of the UNM ECE Department will also be presented.
Dr. Nasir Ghani is an Associate Professor in the ECE Department at the University of New Mexico and Director of the UNM High-Speed Networking Laboratory (HSNL). He received the Bachelors degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Waterloo, Canada, the Masters degree in Electrical Engineering from McMaster University, Canada, and the Ph.D. degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Waterloo, Canada. Currently he is involved in a wide range of research activities in the high-speed networking area and his work has been supported by the NSF, DOE, DTRA, NSWC, and Sprint-Nextel Corp. In addition, he also received the NSF CAREER Award in 2005 for his work in the area of multi-domain network design. Prior to joining UNM, Dr. Ghani was a faculty member in the ECE Department at Tennessee Tech University. He also has extensive industrial experience totalling over 8 years in a wide range of networking and software-related areas and has held senior positions at large blue chip organizations (Nokia, IBM, Motorola) and several startups (Sorrento Networks, Array Systems Computing). Dr. Ghani is a Senior Member of the IEEE and the current chair of the IEEE Technical Committee on High Speed Networks (TCHSN). He has been a guest editor for IEEE Network and IEEE Communications Magazine and has also been serving as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Communications Letters journal. Furthermore, he has chaired several symposia for IEEE GLOBECOM and IEEE ICC and also runs a regular high-speed networking workshop series for IEEE INFOCOM.
