Real-world Contribution: A founder of Codex

Corporation in 1962 (now part of Motorola). His fundamental studies on quadrature amplitude modulation and detection led directly to the 9600 bps modems that provided Codex's commercial success.

Why review the CUBIN Research Program?

Develop a consensus on future directions for CUBIN's research program Identify new and important research topics Promote collaborations among CUBIN researchers Encourage researchers to have clear real world focus -> make more impact

God always takes the

simplest way.
God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically.

AIM of Telecom Research

Design a telecommunications network that provides services at minimal cost

Subject to meeting quality of service requirements

Internet Security and Traffic Management

Provision of QoS (delay, loss) to the
Internet user <maybe it is a better

title??>
Including: monitoring, control and

traffic management including defense
