Research Projects

Our research group is involved in a number of projects funded by the US National Science Foundation (NSF), U.S. Department of Defense, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), HP Labs - HPE, and Huawei Inc.

Select Projects:

1. Our NSF grant provides continued support for OpenNetVM that has been jointly developed by our group at the University of California Riverside and Tim Wood's group at George Washington University. Network Function Virtualization is a "disruptive" technology that changes networks to a software-defined infrastructure offering flexible services with network functions supported by software containers. OpenNetVM is an open source software platform that seeks to lower the barrier for researchers wishing to explore challenges in this area, and for developers wishing to evaluate new types of network services. OpenNetVM is an open-source platform that we encourage others to adopt and contribute to.

2. Our grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) supports our work on “Modeling and Development of Resilient Communication”. I lead a team that includes PIs from University of Central Florida, University of Illinois, Chicago and Rutgers University. This project (see Project Description) seeks to model and develop resilient communication for first responders in disaster management. This work is funded by NIST's Public Safety Innovation Accelerator Program. Refer to the project web page for recent progress.

3. We also have a related NSF grant that addresses the important role of social media and volunteers during and in the aftermath of disasters. This project will enhance communication frameworks with the use of social networks for hyper-local assistance from first responders and volunteers, keeping in mind security and trust.

4. Another NSF grant provides support for our IoT Nets: Networking for the Internet of Things project. We focus on developing innovative, efficient and scalable solutions to support large-scale IoT communication, including support for large-scale IoT communication over cellular networks, transport protocols, security, and integration of IoT solutions with Machine Learning.

5. We have received a grant from NSF for Mobile Elastic Edge Clouds for Scalable, Low-Latency Services that will explore the communication and system architectures needed to effectively support edge cloud services. Our project will develop mobile elastic edge cloud platform to help improve the scalability, agility, and efficiency of edge clouds, allowing them to support new types of performance critical applications.
