Grant of the Romanian National Authority for Scientific Research and Innovation, CNCS – UEFISCDI, project number PN-IV-P2-2.1-TE-2023-1977
Research carried out at the Babeș-Bolyai University of Cluj, Romania
The main goal of Scalable Multipath Routing Algorithms for Disaster Resilient Telecommunications is the development of efficient routing algorithms for backbone networks to guarantee high service availability. The new algorithms will allow the Internet backbone operators to significantly decrease the downtime of their network connections, which is a key enabler of mission-critical and next-generation applications such as telesurgery, Industry 4.0, or autonomous driving.
The research is carried out at the Babeș-Bolyai University of Cluj, Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Hungarian Line.
