Marco
Mellia is an Associate Professor in the Dipartimento di Elettronica e
Telecomunicazioni at Politecnico di Torino.
He received his PhD from from the Politecnico di Torino in Electronic
and Telecommunication Engineering in 2001.
He has been at Politecnico di Torino since 2014, conducting research in
the design and investigation of energy efficient networks and traffic
monitoring and analysis.
Mark Squillante is a
Distinguished Research Staff Member and Manager in the Mathematical Sciences
Department at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, NY,
USA. He received his PhD from the
University of Washington in 1990 and then joined IBM Research. His research interests concern mathematical
foundations of the analysis, modeling and optimization of the design and
control of complex systems under uncertainty.
Short Description of the area
Network
measurement and analysis plays a central role in the design, implementation,
and maintenance of modern telecommunication networks. With the exponential growth of existing
networks and continued proliferation of new types of networks, measurement and
analysis of such networks is becoming an increasingly challenging task. Traditional approaches to measurement and
analysis of networks frequently may need to be modified significantly or even
discarded to make way for alternative techniques. In particular, the emergence of Big Data
analytics is becoming more relevant to the analysis and measurement of
networks. This area pertains to all manner of communication networks, including
the Internet, the Web, data center networks, social networks, sensor networks,
mobile ad hoc networks, vehicular networks, and cellular networks.
