Equipment for Research on Dependable Information Infrastructure

Abstract

This report reviews computing and network equipment purchased through a DURIP grant and their usage for supporting a currently funded DOD/AFOSR project. The research goal of the project is to develop the bottom-up self-synchronization of QoS (quality of service)-centric stateful resource management, according to Complexity Theory for Complex Adaptive Systems, for a dependable information infrastructure that will be used to host network-centric information operations for the JBI, NCW and IO towards Joint Vision 2010. To support this research, we needed to build a testbed for managing information infrastructure to: 1) run large simulations of models developed for QoS management and analysis of emergent network behavior, 2) run large simulations of network activity under a variety of security threats to test the viability and efficiency of protocols being developed in this research project, and 3) run actual tests of network routing and QoS management while a large number of host machines generate substantial network traffic of varying profiles.
