La Feria Madrid por la Ciencia (The Forum for Science) is a key part of the Programa de Ciencia y Sociedad (Science and Society Program) that the Regional Government of Madrid launched in 2000, through the Dirección General de Universidades e Investigación (Directorate-General of Universities and Research). This Program seeks not only to promote dialogue between citizens and scientists, but also to increase the public’s participation in science.

Mext Interim Meeting 2007: Focusing on nemo global development

The conference will be conducted in English

El pasado 11 de Julio la Fundación IMDEA Networks celebró la reunión anual inaugural de su Consejo Científico en Madrid. La reunión marcó un punto importante en el establecimiento de la fundación de la investigación. Este prestigioso Consejo se compone de once investigadores de los más importantes del Mundo en la tecnología de redes.

El Consejo fue presentado a dignatarios, incluyendo representantes senior de la Comunidad de Madrid, quienes crearon y fundaron la iniciativa IMDEA. Tras aceptar formalmente sus cargos como Miembros del Consejo, estos eminentes expertos consideraron varios aspectos de la estrategia científica de la Fundación, lo que ayudará a orientar la dirección de investigación que se debería perseguir en los próximos años.

The dominant paradigm in both IETF and IEEE 802.1 standards for shortest path bridges is based on link-state routing in layer two. This results on hybrid devices of router and switch.

The objective of this course is to learn how to model cellular systems for the use in optimizing the design of this type of network. The course will consist of the following parts:

• A revision of basic queueing models
• Analysis of cellular systems with a single cell
• Channel reservation strategies possibility for the design of systems that optimize performance whilst minimizing the probability of interrupting current sessions
• Models and algorithms to support the different priorities of existing users
• Flow guarantees to different users through models of service differentiation
• Hierarchical cellular structures

A systems approach to network coding and random coding:

• Explain how network coding is used in wireless networks
• Show an example of random coding to implement network coding

This talk on network and random coding is of particular interest to researchers tackling wireless, P2P and multipath routing

El pasado día 26 de Junio, IMDEA Networks celebró una reunión con los representantes principales de la industria cuyas compañías han sido invitadas a seleccionar un representante que forme parte de su Patronato, así como otras partes interesadas en el nuevo instituto de investigación internacional.

This course is focused on the optimization problems that arise in network communications design and planning. First the mathematical techniques involved in constrained optimization are introduced. Then, a taxonomy of network planning problems is reviewed. Representative examples are provided and modeled as constrained optimization problems. After that, algorithm and problem complexity classification is introduced, next to an evaluation of complexity issues in constrained optimization problems. Finally, a section introducing graph theory as a feasible approach for network optimization is included.
