Activity related to the proposed action:

Laurie Cuthbert, John Bigham and John Schormans have very considerable
experience in EU, EPSRC (UK Government) and other internationally funded
research programmes, and a list of projects can be found at:

http://www.elec.qmul.ac.uk/research/telecoms/projects.html

Our main areas of expertise include:

- queueing theory and performance evaluation techniques for packet based
networks

- accelerated simulation 

- traffic modelling

- intelligent agent based techniques for network resource control, e.g.
CAC

and this is supported by the list of papers (1996-2000):

http://www.elec.qmul.ac.uk/research/telecoms/pubs96-00.html

Our interests therefore provide a strong synergy with the QoS
Provisioning activities in section 1; the provisioning activities for
end-to-end QoS in section 2; section 4; the advanced queuing models in
section 5; traffic modelling in section 6, with particular interest and
expertise in long range dependent traffic models; section 10.
