Eric Wing-Ming Wong(黃永明)Associate Professor

Dr. Eric Wong has more than twenty years of research experience in the analysis, design and optimization of telecommunications networks and the development of accurate and computationally efficient approximate methods for performance evaluation in those networks. One important example is his pioneering work on the Erlang fixed-point approximation (EFPA) for the analysis and design of circuit-switched networks that use dynamic routing. This work has supported a major network evolution implemented by AT&T over the past two decades in the US national telephone network. This includes the first workable approximate model for state-dependent dynamic routing [2]. The methodology has significantly reduced the computational effort required and since 1991 has been used by AT&T to design, dimension and optimize its telephone network using Real Time Network Routing (RTNR). His work is important to the successful evolution of the dynamic network. Dr. Wong's contribution in dynamic routing network design is referenced in the book Dynamic Routing in Telecommunications Networks (McGraw-Hill).
