About UC San Diego
UC San Diego, one of the ten campuses which make up the University of
California system, marked its 50th anniversary during the 2010-2011
academic year. Today UC San Diego is recognized throughout the academic world for
its faculty and for its graduate and undergraduate programs. Our reputation
for excellence is due in large part to the cooperative and entrpreneurial
nature of the UC San Diego community.
About SDSC
The San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), an organized research unit of UC San Diego, develops and applies advanced computing technologies to demanding computational science problems. In doing so, SDSC is leading the effort by the National Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure (NPACI) to deploy a national metacomputing infrastructure and foster scientific research.
UCSD Network Operations, a division of UCSD Academic Computing Services (ACS) offers Campus Network Management and Network Services including security, traffic flow, optimization and coordination of campus subnets.
The Mathematics Department at UCSD conducts research on internet mathematics,
whose mission is to discover the fundamental principles governing very large-scale distributed
networks and analyze key mathematical and algorithmic problems
arising in various areas of information technology.
Fan Chung Graham - Professor Graham's primary research interests are in graph theory, combinatorics, and algorithmic design, in particular in spectral graph theory, extremal graphs, graph labeling, graph decompositions, random graphs, graph algorithms, parallel structures and various applications of graph theory in Internet computing, communication networks, software reliability, chemistry, engineering, and various areas of mathematics.
Ruth Williams - Professor Williams' research in probability concerns stochastic processes
and their applications. Her current research includes the formulation and
analysis of fluid and diffusion approximations for stochastic networks,
including those that have scheduling and routing control.
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, part of the
School of Engineering at the University of California, San Diego, is home
to approximately 1000 undergraduate students, 300 graduate students and
over 40 faculty members. In a recent, comprehensive survey conducted by
the National Academy of Sciences, the graduate programs in the UCSD School
of Engineering were ranked ninth in the country, and at UCSD overall were
ranked tenth.
CSE Department: Computer Science and Engineering at UCSD
The Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) Department at UCSD supports a number of faculty who contribute to computer networking research.
Joe Pasquale - Leads a research group on network and
operating system software design, emphasizing the
support of large-scale network-integrated computing
(Internet Computing), and distributed multimedia.
Stefan Savage - Focuses mainly on wide-area networking (esp.
availability, security, and occasionally performance)
and the design of distributed and adaptive computer systems.
George Varghese - Researches Internet systems, security, and Mobile Code.
Varghese's group conducts research that aims to make the Internet into something as fast and reliable as
other utilities such as electricity and telephones.
Geoff Voelker - Researches system services, communication networks, Web server systems.
The CSE department also conducts research projects related to computer networking.
SDSC's Security Technologies Group handles day-to-day security insuring a robust, comprehensive security infrastructure necessary for the success of NPACI, SDSC, and its users.
SDSC's Enterprise Network Services (ENS) is primarily responsible for all networking at SDSC, including internal and external access for research, development and production Scientists and Researchers inside the building, at Sequoia Hall, Chemistry Research Building, and the bungalows near Thurgood Marshall College.
The San Diego Network Access Point (SD-NAP), established in February of 1998, is a neutral network traffic exchange facility that is intended to provide a location for local data network service providers to exchange Internet traffic. The SD-NAP is hosted by the Enterprise Network Services group at the University of California's San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) and is collaboratively supported by the Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA) and SDSC Enterprise Network Services staff.
NLANR: National Laboratory for Applied Network Research at SDSC at SDSC
The research activities of the NLANR Measurement and Network Analysis Group encompass measurement and analysis of HPC network performance through the Passive Measurement and Analysis (PMA) Project and the Active Measurement Project (AMP), which form the core of our Network Analysis Infrastructure (NAI). We make all data, that we reasonably can (raw data, graphs and visualizations), available on our Web site for use by outside network researchers, engineers, systems administrators, and students.
HPWREN: High Performance Wireless Research and Education Network at UCSD
The High Performance Wireless Research and Education Network (HPWREN) team is creating, demonstrating, and evaluating a non-commercial, prototype, high-performance, wide-area, wireless network in San Diego county. The NSF-funded network includes backbone nodes on the UC San Diego campus and a number of "hard to reach" areas in San Diego county. Not only is HPWREN is used for network analysis research, but the network also provides high-speed Internet access to field researchers from several disciplines (geophysics, astronomy, ecology) and educational opportunities for rural Native American learning centers and schools.
GRAIL: Grid Research and Innovation Laboratory at SDSC at SDSC
Grid Research And Innovation Laboratory (GRAIL). The deployment of
scientific applications on resources over the wide area has become
increasingly promising and the vision for a "Computational Grid" has
emerged. In that context, our group focuses on scheduling issues, and in
particular on the impact of network performance, network topologies, and
network contention on the execution of large-scale parallel applications
on the "Computational Grid". Our work involves network monitoring, topology
discovery, network simulations, and real-world experiments on a variety of
testbeds.
The Center for Wireless Communications (CWC) of the University of California at San Diego offers a cross-disciplinary program of research and education targeted at the emerging needs of the cellular and wireless communications industry. Founded in February 1995, the Center is committed to developing a strong university-partnership needed for producing a relevant program of systems and technology-oriented research.
