  1. The Princeton EDGE LabOpening Remarks Mung Chiang November 8, 2009

  2. Welcome • Informal, local event today • Formal, global event is annual open house in August every year starting 2010 Current Status: • Research projects • Staff hiring • Equipment purchase • Publicity • Outreach

  3. Theory and Practice • “There is nothing more practical than a good theory” • “Theory as the brain and systems as the heart” • “Rigor or relevance: either but not both?” • “Relevant question or elegant answer?” • … • Why theory is inalienable: • Explanatory (rather than descriptive) models • Top-down design with predictive power • Why theory is incomplete: • Sensitivity to math crystallization • Need to make a difference in live networks

  4. Theory-Practice Divide Tear Down This Wall ! Industry Modeling Reality Model Theory Transfer Mathematics

  5. Theory-Practice Synergy Theory Practice Bigger Overlap Do them both New Questions

  6. An Edge Between Theory and Practice • From Dichotomy to Union: Theory Practice Theory Practice The Princeton EDGE Lab

  7. Not Just Yet Another Testbed 1. Focus on edge networking (rather than backbone and sensor networks) 2. Theory-inspired implementation: • Validate predictions • Falsify assumptions • Tighten characterizations • Inspire new questions Technology transfers Innovation incubation Student education

  8. History 2003-2007: • Many developments in theory: www.princeton.edu/~chiangm/publications.html • Several tech transfers to industry • EE-CS synergies • Year 0: 2008 planning • Year 1: 2009 fund raising and recruiting • Research arm scenic.princeton.edu • Lab arm scenic.princeton.edu/edgelab

  9. Research -- Motivations Networked end users with access that is • Universal • (Politically) Free • Shared • Scalable • (Economically) Sustainable

  10. Research -- Topics • Social • Content distribution and sharing • Content pipe divide • Online social networks • Internet for freedom • Economic policies • Clean • Price of greening • Healthcare wireless delivery • Edge • End user oriented • Access and home networks

  11. Research -- Projects • Network optimization • Dynamics of information in networks via geometry • Content aware networking • P2P global streaming • Utility Optimal CSMA • Socio-Tech networking • SharingMart • FreedomNet • Network economics • Green IT

  12. The Language is Math Methodologies: • Distributed optimization • Stochastic control • Games and economics • Graphs and random processes… Functionalities: • Power control and scheduling • Congestion control and routing • Topology control and distribution • Pricing…

  13. Research -- Grand Challenges • How to deal with nonconvexity? • How to be robust and opportunistic to dynamics? • How to reduce high dimensionality?

  14. Research -- Grand Challenges • 1Mbps global P2P streaming • Near optimal scheduling without message passing • Tunable control of content-pipe mutual awareness • Universal broadband coverage • Protect end user from central authorities • Price user-generated content online • Distribute and recover the price of greening

  15. Research – Testbed/Data Partners • VINI (Princeton) • WAN in Lab (Caltech) • TFA (Rice) • WiMesh (KAIST) • FastMesh-SIP (HKUST) • NECA

  16. People – Group and Active Alumni • Hazer Inaltekin • Hongseok Kim • Sangtae Ha • Tian Lan • Joe Jiang • Yiannis Kamitsos • Prashanth Hande • Michael Yang • Arel Lidow

  17. People – Princeton Collaborators • Rob Calderbank (EE, Math) • Michael Freedman (CS) • Margaret Martonosi (EE) • Vince Poor (EE) • Jennifer Rexford (CS) • Matthew Salganik (Sociology) • Jacob Shapiro (WWS)
