报告摘要:
Network science is a new and emerging scientific discipline that examines the interconnections among diverse physical or engineered networks (such as power grid and transportation networks), information networks, biological networks, cognitive and semantic networks, economic networks (such as stock markets), and social networks. This field of science seeks to discover common principles, algorithms and tools that govern network structures, functionalities, and behaviors. In this talk, I will discuss some major problems and methodologies in network science. To illustrate the application domains of network science, I will focus on distributed control in wireless networks. In particular, I will present how to apply the decomposition principle in network science to the problem of joint congestion control and scheduling in multi-hop ad hoc networks with multi-class services.
