Lecture:  Optical Networks and Cloud Computing
Instructor:  Prof. Chunming Qiao, 
                    IEEE Fellow, University at Buffalo, NY, USA

Description:  This course is for advanced MS and first-year PhD students who have some background in the basic concept of modern computer and telecommunication networks, and are interested in pursuing research in optical switching and networking, and how it may be used in cloud computing to enable cost/power-efficient intra-datacenter networks and distributed, multi-datacenter networks, and improve the survivability of cloud computing services. The course will cover from the basic concepts of optical switching to the state-of-the-art, how to design survivable virtual network mapping, analyze availability of cloud computing services and also discuss issues related to service level agreement (SLAs).

Course Schedule:  Optical Networks and Cloud Computing

Professor Chunming Qiao directs the Lab for Advanced Network Design, Analysis, and Research (LANDER), which conducts cutting-edge research with curent foci on optical networking and and survivability issues in cloud computing, human-factors and mobility in wireless networks, low-cost and low-power sensors and mobile sensor networking.He has published more than 95 and 150 papers in leading technical journals and conference proceedings, respectively. His pioneering research on Optical Internet in mid 1990, in particular, the optical burst switching (OBS) paradigm has produced some of the highest cited works. In addition, his work on integrated cellular and ad hoc relaying systems (iCAR), started in 1999, is recognized as the harbinger for today’s push towards the convergence between heterogeneous wireless technologies, and has been featured in BusinessWeek and Wireless Europe, as well as at the websites of New Scientists and CBC. His Research has been funded by nine NSF grants as a PI including two ITR awards, and by seven major telecommunications companies, as well as Industrial Technology Research Institute (in Taiwan).
Dr. Qiao has given a dozen of keynotes, and numerous invited talks on the above research topics. He has chaired and co-chaired a dozen of international conferences and workshops. He was an editor of a coupel of IEEE Transactions and a guest-editor for several IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC) issues. He was the chair of the IEEE Technical Committee on High Speed Networks (HSN) and currently chairs the IEEE  Subcommittee on Integrated Fiber and Wireless Technologies (FiWi) which he founded. He was elected to IEEE Fellow for his contributions to optical and wireless network architectures and protocols.
