Project Description | ||||
Toward a Multi-Layered Architecture for Reliable and Secure Large-Scale Networks This project (a) provides an IT framework for smooth, reliable, and efficient operation of a complex network infrastructure over a broad range of inputs/disturbances and topological changes; (b) creates a family of models that allow informed decisions through better representations of the network state and dynamics; (c) identifies the information and models required to run the network reliably and efficiently, and (d) seeks the most cost-effective way to gather and process the required data, and build a better model of system dynamics. |
