The Cognitive and Big Data Analytics Driven Networks Project is an international collaborative research program between Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and The University of Hong Kong (HKU) led by Prof. Vincent Chan at MIT and Prof. Victor Li at HKU. We aim to use new cognitive techniques, big data analytics network functionalities, and a rigorous architecture approach to deal with the complexity of future fast network management and control, and thus to improve network performances. We are one of the seed funding winners of Greater China Fund for Innovation 2015-2016 of MIT International Science and Technology Initiatives (MISTI).
“The MIT Greater China Fund for Innovation is a vital part of the MIT strategy to internationalize MIT research and education. Established in 2010, this seed fund aims to facilitate early stage joint research between MIT faculty and their Chinese counterparts (universities, research centers, and industry) in an effort to help launch early-‐stage international projects and collaborations. $2 million has been fulfilled thus far with plans to increase the fund to $20 million. The Greater China Fund for Innovation falls under the umbrella of the MISTI Global Seed. ” —— MIT MISTI-CHINA 2015-2016 Newsletter
