Abstract:

Telecommunications network models have been developed and studied for over a century.
They have been applied toplanning and design of a wide range of telecommunicationsystems and networks. The general aim has been to minimize costsubject to meeting quality of service and reliability requirements.This talk will address threedistinct networking research topics.The first is how to design a multilayer network model that considersmany practical aspects, including: realistically sized networks, layeredarchitecture, and stochastic traffic composed of heavy tailed flows. Weaim to provide validated solutions for optimal traffic engineering, network design and evolution prediction. The second is on how to optimizea topology of cabled networks considering path planning of optical fiber cables andtrading off cost savings and network resilience. This research wasmotivated by the 2006 Hengchun earthquake near the south coast ofTaiwan that caused disruption to Internet services in many Asiancountries. This disruption was caused as a result of damage to several underseacables located close to each other in an earthquake prone area. Theaim is to optimize the laying path of cables considering a range of factorsincluding: cost, risk, geography, and ecology. Since there aremultiple stakeholders with different objectives, a multi-objectiveoptimization is used.

PhD/MSc Programmes

The Department of Electronic Engineering (EE) at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) is a dynamic department committed to providing an environment conducive for learning and conducting research. CityU has been ranked 20th according to ShanghaiRanking’s Global Ranking of universities in 2016 for the subject area of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE), which places us first in Hong Kong for EEE. We have 16 IEEE Fellows among our outstanding faculty. We are well-equipped with numerous state-of-the-art laboratories facilitating a variety of research and teaching activities; the establishment of the State Key Laboratory of Millimeter Waves in 2008 with the support of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China is a notable example.

We offer PhD studies in a wide range of research areas and welcome bright students from all around the world to join us via the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS) with a provision of a stipend at HK$20,000 (~US$2,600) per month and a university entrance scholarship worth HK$71,500 (~US$9,167). HKPFS applicants are also automatically considered for Regular Admission to our PhD programme. For applications to the HKPFS, 2017/18, please visithttp://www.sgs.cityu.edu.hk/prospective/RPg/HKPhD

We also offer two taught Master’s programmes, the MSc in Electronic Information Engineering (EIE) and MSc in Multimedia Information Technology (MIT). The programmes’ internships and management courses provide high-quality training to nurture well-rounded professionals: professionals equipped with the analytical and communications skills expected of managerial positions across different industries.
