Prime factorization means recursive factoring until it cannot be further factored. The theory is also related to meromorphic functions on the complex plane. The project intends to set up a new platform for algebraic studies of switching networks. Switching theory has been evolving toward a branch of mathematics with significant applications to telecommunication. Sporadic ad hoc results are gradually pieced together into general algebraic principles.
Generality grows together with the mathematical rigor in formulation and derivation.
This project aimed at developing open software tools for multimedia content providers and Internet services providers to simplify and facilitate the creation, hosting, management, and delivery of multimedia contents. The Project aims at developing a next generation multimedia system suitable for high density metropolitan area. The system will be based on IP multicast and support real time streaming and QoS. An engineering prototype is being developed. We are also studying architectures and technologies for Internet hubs and information services over Internet. To build a large-scale virtual campus linking up universities, secondary and primary schools, and the public in Hong Kong.
