There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Abstract: We study network tomography questions, which are large scale inverse
inference problems and vital for many network traffic engineering tasks such as
dynamic routing optimization, Quality of Service (QoS) guarantee. We propose a
pseudo likelihood approach for estimating parameters of these problems based on
the principle of divide-and-conquer. The example of multicast link delay
estimation problem is used to motivate the concept. We then apply the pseudo
likelihood approach to the problem of estimating origin-destination matrix
through link traffic counts, which is one of the core problems in network
traffic engineering.
This is joint work with Bin Yu.
