Research Description

"I get payed a lot of money. The least I can do is get it right." --- Peter Jennings, ABC News.

We are developing performance analysis tools and effective control strategies for congestion-control and resource-management protocols in computer networks. In the initial phase of this research we studied the fundamental properties of distributed algorithms for congestion control and the impact of system parameters on performance. We had some success with a two-dimensional Brownian motion model for a system with adaptive con trol. With the experience and insight gained over the last several years, the study has evolved into a platform that encompasses:

Biography

Prof. Mukherjee received the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin at Madison in 1990, and Bachelor in Technology degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology at Kharagpur in 1984.

Prof. Mukherjee's research is in the area of network performance analysis. He works in traffic signature analysis and workload modeling, resource-management for multi-media services, and experimental and theoretical studies of network dynamics and control. Earlier, he has worked on performance of error recovery protocols and media access protocols.
