Measurements on Networks

Date 2009-04-15 Time 15:30:00  Room SH 107 
Speaker Brian Cloteaux, NIST (Host: Ranjan)
Abstract Common structures that we use everyday, such as the Internet, the power grid, and various software components, have complex networks embedded in them. Being able to measure these networks is essential to maintaining their reliability, safety and in some cases their security. But what exactly should we be measuring and how can we perform these measurements? In this talk, I will talk about some of our efforts towards answering these questions. In addition, I will spend a few minutes talking about opportunities at NIST, especially for undergraduate and doctoral students.
