Synopsis

The project focuses on optimizing the management and scheduling of data traffic in networks that combine electrical and optical technologies. Hybrid electrical-optical networks leverage the strengths of both electrical switching (for flexibility and control) and optical switching (for high bandwidth and low latency) to meet the growing demands of modern communication systems. The project aims to develop efficient traffic scheduling algorithms to improve network performance, reduce latency, and maximize resource utilization.

The project has the potential to significantly improve network performance, reduce latency, and enhance energy efficiency. This could lead to more robust and scalable communication systems, capable of meeting the demands of emerging applications like IoT, 5G, and cloud computing. The project contributes to the ongoing evolution of network technologies, offering solutions that bridge the gap between electrical and optical networking paradigms.
