University of Guelph Research Day - Winter ‘08
On December 2nd and 4th 2008, Research Day for the Computer Science Department at the University of Guelph is taking place. Research Day is a day where many of the graduate and some undergraduate students present research projects in various stages. For the graduate students the projects consist of initial results and proposals for thesis documents while the undergrads present results from their research projects.

PerWin Research Group @ the University of Guelph
Today I completed the listing page for all of the presentations our research group PerWin at the University of Guelph has made in the last year or so. PerWin stands for Pervasive Computing and Wireless Networking Research. The group is directed by my advisor, Dr. Mieso Denko and has several graduate students who are active research members in the group. We have given presentations on topics ranging from Wireless Mesh Networks protocols, Autonomous networks, Fair Scheduling, Load Balancing, RFID, Wireless Security and much more. We have also had special invited talks by several faculty members from various Universities around Ontario (Ryerson, UOIT).

Fair Scheduling for Wireless Mesh Networks with Multiple Gateways - AINA’09 Submission
Introduction
After quite a bit of work on my M.Sc. degree I am beginning to get some initial results that I hope to use in my thesis. My work seems to be headed in the direction of fair scheduling and load balancing in Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN). For more information on why addressing these issues are important and a PowerPoint presentation see my previous post, “Fair Scheduling & Load Balancing in WMN“. Basically, the aim of my work right now is to try to find a fair scheduling such that throughput and fairness are balanced. See the Venn-Diagram I have created below for an idea of where existing solutions fit into this. My solution would ideally fall right in the intersection of the two circles.

10 Applications of Wireless Networks
Wireless Networks have become very popular in recent years and research in the area is very active. It is one of my main research interests while studying for my M.Sc. in Applied Computing at the University of Guelph so I thought I would write a bit about what I think are some of the most useful or interesting applications of wireless networking both now and in the future.

Fair Scheduling & Load Balancing in WMN
My research is becoming more focused as of late towards the area of fair scheduling and load balancing in Wireless Mesh Networks. Earlier this week I gave a talk in our wireless research group at Guelph on WMN: Fair Scheduling and Load Balancing which I will make available at the bottom of the post.
The presentation gave a background on why load balancing and scheduling are important in WMNs. Additionally a survey on the current problems that I find interesting in the area was presented. In case you don’t want to get the presentation / you don’t have MS Office here are the main points from the presentation:
