The Stochastic Networks Seminar is a weekly series of talks that will be held through the 2001-2002 academic year. It is a cross-disciplinary seminar series that draws from the various groups involved in networking research at Stanford, from the Departments of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Management Science and Engineering and the Graduate School of Business.
The topics of interest are wide-ranging; including modeling wireline/ wireless networks, switch/ router/ queue-management algorithms, pricing, network measurement, stochastic network theory, etc. The style will be informal and conducive for presenting work-in-progress. The seminar series is open to everyone.
The following is a reverse chronological list of talks. Enquiries regarding the seminar should be sent to msharma@stanford.edu.
