Greedy routing with guaranteed delivery using Ricci flows
<06> Originality: First paper showing that Ricci Flows from differential geometry can be applied to sensor networks. With a fully distributed in-network algorithm, it creates simplified virtual coordinates to facilitate network operations. Routing, data storage etc become simpler and more balanced.
Significance: Since its publication, applications of differential geometry has become a frequent topic in networking conferences. Follow up work has been taken up by groups including NTU, Singapore, HUST, China. US NSF grants have been awarded for further research.
Rigour: The algorithm is a rigorous adaptation of discrete conformal geometry to networks, with analytic and simulation evaluation of properties.
