Special Report in Scientific American
“Breaking network logjams,” Scientific American, June 2007
“Although this method may sound counterintuitive, network coding, which is still under study, has the potential to dramatically speed up and improve the reliability of all manner of communications systems and may well spark the next revolution in the field.”
NC is a New Paradigm
Fundamentally changes the concept of network communication
A new information superhighway system

Unique Advantages of this AoE
Strongest theory group in the world.
Team up with 3 technology giants.
Support a complete knowledge supply chain,
from theory to practice
Numerous researchers visit HK.
Telecom industry in Shenzhen (e.g., Huawei, ZTE)
Help China, Mainland and Taiwan, to catch up in NC
Goals of the AoE
To sustain our global leadership in NC
and make the birthplace of NC an international hub of the field
To elevate the regional interest in NC
To help attract major industrial research labs to HK
To attract top postgraduate students worldwide
To cover all existing areas in NC
To shape the field of NC
To gain global recognition in researcher training
To host international conferences
Technology consulting for Hong Kong, Mainland China, …
Now Is Good Timing
The Network Coding & Information Research Centre established by CUHK in 2006 paves for the AoE. Jump-started NC research in sister universities.
Held NetCod 2008 on CUHK campus.
Elevate research interest in the region. Research funding: $3.8M (CRF), $0.8M (NSFC-RGC),
$2M (Industry and others). Many good PhDs in NC are being produced at a time
when job market in America and Europe is poor. Acting now, we shall be the first Institute of NC.

Sustainability
At the end of this AoE: Scenario A
All NC ideas exhausted and productized Mission accomplished
Scenario B New NC ideas keeps coming up On-going productization effort Should be fairly self-sustainable
Sustainability
Scenario C New major breakthroughs along the way The AoE may evolve into one with a larger scope
