About the Talk
Network utility maximization
has provided an increasingly powerful framework for resource allocation in the
Internet TCP/IP suite and various layers in wireless networks over the last few
years. Compared to the traditional
network linear flow problems, this framework utilizes many of the advances in
nonlinear optimization theory and distributed algorithms. This talk presents a brief overview of the
key applications of network utility maximization, a summary of some of the very
recent results in this area, and an approach of ‘layering as optimization
decomposition’.
About the
Speaker
Mung Chiang is an Assistant Professor of Electrical
Engineering at
Professor Chiang conducts
research in the areas of nonlinear optimization of communication systems,
architectures and algorithms for broadband access networks, and information
theoretic limits of data transmission and compression. He has been awarded as a Hertz Foundation
Fellow, Stanford Graduate Fellow, NSF Graduate Fellow, and received Stanford
University School of Engineering Terman Award and SBC
Communications New Technology Introduction Contribution Award. Professor Chiang is the Lead Guest Editor of
the IEEE Journal of Selected Area in Communications Special Issue on ‘Nonlinear
Optimization of Communication Systems’ in 2006, a Guest Editor of the IEEE
Transactions on Information Theory Special Issue on ‘Information Theory and
Networking’ in 2006, and the Program Co-Chair of the 38th Conference on
Information Sciences and Systems in 2004.
All Welcome!
