Abstract:
We present an overview of PRIME (Parallel Real-time Immersive network Modeling Environment), an ongoing research project supported by an NSF CAREER Award. The design goal of PRIME is to provide an immersive large-scale virtual network environment for researchers to prototype, evaluate, and analyze distributed applications and network services. In this talk, we first introduce the background of our research. We then focus on a hybrid network traffic modeling technique that allows large network simulations to run in real time. In the end, we present a brief overview of other ongoing projects and future directions of our research group.

Biography:
Jason Liu is an Assistant Professor at the School of Computing and Information Sciences at Florida International University. He joins FIU from Colorado School of Mines, where he was an Assistant Professor since 2004. While there, he was granted the NSF CAREER Award. He received his PhD in Computer Science from Dartmouth College in 2003, MS in Computer Science from College of William and Mary in 2000, and BA degree in Computer Science from Beijing University of Technology in China in 1993. He served one year as a post-doctoral research associate at the Coordinated Sciences Laboratory at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. His research interests include parallel discrete-event simulation, high-performance modeling and simulation of communication networks and computer systems. His current research focuses on applying real-time computation techniques for adaptive network simulation models, and designing and building scalable emulation infrastructure for studying large-scale networks.
