Wireless LAN Research Grant for Kennington, Olinick

January 20, 2009

The Office of Naval Research has awarded the following research grant to EMIS faculty Jeff Kennington and Eli Olinick:

Using Optimization to Design Wireless Local Area Networks

Developing a good design for a wireless local area network for a multistory building is a challenging problem.  The designer must determine the number and location of the access points (radio
transmitters and receivers), the best power setting for these access points, and the frequency to be assigned to the access points. Since the exact location of the mobile devices (i.e. users) is not known, evaluation of a given design requires a statistical analysis over a random sample of potential locations.  Our objective is to
develop optimization-based prototype design tools for both current and future versions of these networks.

Funding level: $135,000.

Yu Awarded Research Grant on Engineering Supply Chain Systems

January 20, 2009

EMIS faculty member Dr. Junfang Yu recently received the following $85,000 research grant from Sandia National Laboratories:

Collaborative Environment Implementation, Data Management and Security in Supply Chain System

This funded research project will help Sandia to design and implement a secure and effective Electronic Component Information System (ECIS) which is being used by design and development engineers, and other personnel along their supply chain in a collaborative environment. The scope of the work includes the design and implementation of the control mechanism and management schema for the engineering release of various designs and subsystems to be used in a complex weapon system. The project will also help Sandia to design and implement their ECIS so it could be used in a secure and collaborative way.
