CNP Styregruppemøde nr.5ResearchMajor contributions

The results are major contributions in:• Methods to ensure global and documented properties across

the WANs.• Considerable improvement in the utilisation factor of the

network resources with respect to network capacity.• Comprehensive studies of symmetric and semi-symmetric

network topologies for use in physical and optical layers of fiber networks.

• Establishing a base for the introduction of new routing principles simplifying the routing process and reducing the network management overhead for keeping the routing information up to date including the time taken to stabilise the network in break down situations.

• Improved and new algorithms in the field of automatic generation of network plans, based on available GIS based documentation, including expansions from 2D to 3D algorithms.

• Investigations in the problem of identifying growth limits in large scale networks.

Indirectly these results may also contribute to the potential for providing high demanding applications on a global scale that today is only provided for the local area environments or on a limited and dedicated part of the WANs.

6. International Research ActivitiesIn order to ensure an international level of research and cooperation CNP has taken various initiatives:

Submission of conference and journal papers to create international awareness. The review procedure is contributing to improve the quality. CNP has participated in the program committees for several conferences and was organising and chairing the Strategic Workshops in IWS2005. CNP is in the editorial board for Computer Communications Journal and guest editor for a special issue of Personal Wireless Communication in 2006.

Participation in international conferences and visits to international research groups in order to gather knowledge and to establish international personal networks. The two PhD candidates stayed for four months at UCD, Ireland and similar are planned for the two new PhD projects.

The outcome of these activities has gradually resulted in increased international awareness of the CNP research internationally. It has resulted in invitations to visits research initiatives for presentations and discussions of closer cooperation in Ireland, Greece, Poland, India, Italy and Japan.

CNP has had visitors from e.g. Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Germany, Greece, Spain, Korea, Italy, India, Japan, Malaysia, UK and USA.

Activities

CNP Styregruppemøde nr.5

NJNFThe cooperation with NJNF is counting for activities, mainly dealing with the generation of GIS based plans required by NJNF in connection with strategy plans for a number of broadband initiatives, mainly from regional and local municipalities but also required by a number of the electricity distribution companies providing new fibre optical ICT infrastructure.

Support to the education

The CNP knowledge center is also contributing to the education primarily with support on tools and methods used in the ongoing external activities and advisory to student engaged in projects related to actual external planning activities.

The relatively high number of international students has given the opportunity to test some of the methods invented for the national scene on data from the various countries represented.

Two master degree projects in 2005 were dealing with Iceland and a 9th semester project in 2005 were dealing with France and Spain, expected to lead to two master projects in 2006.

The contacts with Iceland led to a framework contract between CNP and Orkuveita Reykjavikur, Iceland. The cooperation was based on reviewing the plans for the ongoing broadband initiative in Iceland, and support of the Icelandic students at AAU. Part of the support was a contribution to acquire software licenses for new GIS tools used in the R&D activities.
