Research Topics

If you are a graduate student interested in gaining some research/publishing experience and contributing to the SWORD project through an independent study project, possible topics that would greatly contribute to our work are:
  • Analyze media server logs, looking at new workload characteristics as well as similarities and differences compared with the previously analyzed eTeach and BIBS client workloads.

  • Extend the SWORD prototype, for example to augment the performance measurements or to add another multicast streaming protocol and evaluate the protocol experimentally.
For further information, please contact vernon@cs.wisc.edu

If you are interested in joining the SWORD project as an RA, the background needed for graduate work on the project is: cs547/747 (performance modeling), cs635 (optimization), or cs640/740 (computer networks).

Research topics that are currently being addressed by project participants, and topics that are available to new RAs, are listed here.
