Eddie,

feel free to forward it to interested parties.  It could be very nice for some of our students. 

P.S.  No Statistics or MTH 563 required.

Hi all,

Quanta Research Cambridge (see http://www.qrclab.com ) is looking for a summer research intern.  Graduate students or upper level undergraduates would be suitable.  If you are interested, or seek further information, please get in touch with any of us:

Larry Stewart <ste...@qrclab.com>

Matteo Frigo <matteo...@qrclab.com>

NETWORK CODING FOR REAL-TIME STREAMING.

This project consists of the implementation and evaluation of a real-time streaming protocol using network coding.  A "real-time streaming protocol" transmits a data stream over a network.  The data stream typically consists of audio or video data, and delivering the data on time is typically more important than the occasional data loss.  A "coding" scheme adds redundancy to the transmitted data in such a way that the receiver can reconstruct the original information even in the presence of packet loss.  "Network coding" is a coding scheme in which the amount of redundancy can be varied dynamically. This adaptivity is especially important, for example, in wireless networks, where the network conditions change continuously.

We seek an intern to help senior staff with this project.  A general interest in communication protocols is desirable, but we do not expect you to have any prior knowledge of network coding.  Familiarity with the C or C++ languages is desirable.  General background in linear algebra, error correcting codes, and linux would be valuable.
