Here is a list of possible PhD projects I am interested in supervising, contact me at hong.shen@adelaide.edu.au if you are interested.



Web technology

Study effective methods and techniques for Web caching, scalable Web server design, proxy/cach placement and replacement. Recent focuses include development of optimal methods for en-route Web caching in tree networks and multimedia objects placement for transparent data replication.

Optical Comptuing

Study efficient architectures and algorithms for optical computing. Recent focuses include fault-tolerant routing in optical WDM networks and efficient realization of parallel computations in optical architectures.

Network Topology Discovery and Performance Evaluation

Study effective methods and techniques for network traffic analysis and performance evaluation. Recent focuses include topology discovery and performance analysis in multicast networks and wireless networks.

Mobile agents in e-applications

Study new methods and techniques for analyzing statistical behaviors of mobile agents, monitoring agent's performance and controlling agent's activities, to improve the performance of agent-deployed e-applications.

Parallel Algorithms

Study efficient parallel algorithms for problems ranging from combinatorial and graph-theoretic to data-intensive applications. Recent was done for combinatorial problems on partially ordered data sets and critical sections in networks.

Interconnection Networks

Study interconnection network topologies of high performance in terms of hardware (wiring), software (routing) and maintenance (scalability) costs, and techniques for efficient switching among network elements. Recent work was done in design and analysis of high performance multi-stage interconnections.

Parallel Databases Query Evaluation and Data Mining

Study efficient techniques and methods for efficient databases query evaluation and data mining in parallel and distributed environments, with the focuses on multple join operations and discovery of association patterns in large databases.

Routing

Study efficient methods and techniques for routing in high-speed networks and time-embedded systems with the focus on group communication including multicast in multiple multicast.

Data hiding, multimedia coding and transmission

Study effective methods and techniques for embedding high-capacity data imperceptiblly in a host media (audio, image and video etc) in a robust and secure manner, for error-resilient coding and transmission of multimedia applications in noisy and time-varying network environments.

Network security and privacy-preserving computation

Study effective models, methods and techniques for anomaly-based intrusion detection in hosts and networks with provision of adaptability, scalability, and dependability; for privacy-preserving computation in vavious applications.

Wireless Communication and Networking

Study efficient methods and techniques for wireless communication and networking. Recent focuses include: Design orthogonal and quasi-orthogonal space-time block codes with high rates and low delays; Develop efficient, robust and secure routing protocols for MANET.
