Joint Applied Mathematics Colloquium / EE Systems Seminar

From Cloud to Fog
Mung Chiang, Electrical Engineering, Applied and Computational Mathematics and Computer Science, Princeton University,
Speaker's Bio:
Mung Chiang is the Arthur LeGrand Doty Professor of Electrical Engineering at Princeton University. His research on networks received the 38th Alan T. Waterman Award and the IEEE Tomiyasu Award. A TR35 Award recipient, he created the Princeton EDGE Lab to bridge the theory-practice divide by spanning from proofs to prototypes, resulting in several tech transfers and two startups. His MOOC reached over 100,000 students and lead to two undergraduate textbooks in "just-in-time" style, and he received the ASEE Terman Award for education innovations.
• If "Bursty Traffic : Packet Switching," then "Heterogeneous Traffic : ?"
• If AT&T charges you $10 a GB, would you still watch that much video on tablet? 
• If there're multiple radios on your phone, who should choose which one to use? 
 
In trying to formulate the above questions and to influence industry directions, we observe an emergent, coherent theme. In this talk, I'll explore the interactions between economics and engineering in Smart Data Pricing, the "rise of the clients" in wireless network control, and the "descend" of cloud infrastructure to end users in the evolution of network architecture.
