RNCP: A Resilient Networking and Computing Paradigm for NASA Space Exploration

Research Areas: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Principal Investigator: Jin Wei-Kocsis

There are three fundamental research objectives in this project: (1) to design a secure and decentralized computing and data analysis infrastructure, (2) to develop a data-driven resilient and cognitive networking management architecture, (3) to simulate, test, and validate our Resilient Networking and Computing Paradigm (RNCP). Our research with these three objects aims to advance the automation, environment-awareness, and intelligence of NASA’s deep space network and to improve the resilience and scalability of the NASA space communication system. Furthermore, there is a possibility to integrate the work in the Cognitive Communications Project CubeSat Space mission to demonstrate the advanced cognitive networking architecture.
