Congestion Control for Web Real-Time Communication

</paper>
<h1>Special issue on 'Control in Computing' Journal of Control Science and Engineering, Hindawi</h1>
 
  
Control theory has had a productive but limited relationship with computing theory and systems. In recent years, there has been an increased interest among researchers to apply control theory to computing and information science and technology problems. Examples of such problems include managing power consumption for data centers, smart grids, managing resources in cloud computing applications, congestion control, and quality of experience in Internet real-time applications such as videoconference and adaptive video streaming.  The goal of this special issue is to bring together such a synthesis combining control theoretic approaches with traditional computing approaches to design systems that provide stable and predictable dynamics.  Such theoretical foundations are increasingly important as the criticality, scale, and complexity of computing and information multiplies.<br>

Special issue on 'Control in Computing' Journal of Control Science and Engineering, Hindawi

Control theory has had a productive but limited relationship with computing theory and systems. In recent years, there has been an increased interest among researchers to apply control theory to computing and information science and technology problems. Examples of such problems include managing power consumption for data centers, smart grids, managing resources in cloud computing applications, congestion control, and quality of experience in Internet real-time applications such as videoconference and adaptive video streaming. The goal of this special issue is to bring together such a synthesis combining control theoretic approaches with traditional computing approaches to design systems that provide stable and predictable dynamics. Such theoretical foundations are increasingly important as the criticality, scale, and complexity of computing and information multiplies.
