The Department of Mathematics and Statistics invites you to a seminar by Dr. Davide Cellai (MACSI, UL):

Title:  Routing in human proximity networks

Abstract:  Communication networks are traditionally assumed to be connected. However, many modern applications, including wireless sensor networks and vehicular networks, have dynamic topologies that reflect processes occurring in the outside world. Moreover, the higher and higher density of mobile devices in many urban areas has encouraged research in communication architectures which are decentralised and distributed over a multitude of dynamically networked devices. I will focus on the problem of routing messages in networks of human proximity and show how characteristic patterns of the network dynamics can be exploited to optimise the application performance.
