Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications has created a new paradigm for creating distributed applications that connect previously unseen numbers of intelligent devices. By some estimates, the worldwide revenues from M2M systems are estimated to grow by 38% annually, and reach several hundred billion dollars by 2020. M2M applications must satisfy demands for low cost, scalability, and low overhead, and must be able to operate over a mix of different communication systems. Thus, M2M applications can greatly benefit from self-organizing approaches to networking, because of their ability to adapt to changes of network topology, traffic mix, and service requirements. However, the use of self-organizing design principles for heterogeneous M2M systems remains largely unexplored. The goal of this research project is to harvest the potential of self-organizing networks for M2M communications. The ability to have large-scale networks that can be deployed instantaneously and inexpensively creates opportunities for simpler and more resource- and cost-efficient networking, and may lay the foundation for innovative technologies with significant commercial value. This project will use new theoretical and practical approaches to address strategic areas problems to enable self-organizing M2M communications. The project will result in novel techniques and methodologies for (1) Scalable routing and name resolution over collections of wired and wireless networks; (2) Real-time performance monitoring for network optimization; and (3) Dynamically loadable and flexible traffic control algorithms for M2M networks. The proposed project will carry the proposed solutions from theory to a real-life implementation, and thus provide proof-of-concept prototypes suitable for commercialization efforts.

机器对机器（M2M）通信创建了一个新的范式，用于创建连接以前看不见的智能设备数量的分布式应用程序。据一些估计，M2M系统的全球收入估计每年增长38％，到2020年达到数亿美元。M2M的申请必须满足对低成本，可扩展性和低开销的需求，并且必须能够在不同通信系统的混合过程中运行。 因此，M2M的应用程序可以从自组织的网络方法中受益匪浅，因为它们能够适应网络拓扑，流量组合和服务要求的变化。但是，在异质M2M系统中使用自组织设计原理仍然在很大程度上没有探索。该研究项目的目的是收获M2M通信的自组织网络的潜力。拥有可以立即且廉价地部署的大型网络的能力为更简单，更具资源和成本效益的网络创造了机会，并可能为具有巨大商业价值的创新技术奠定了基础。 该项目将采用新的理论和实用方法来解决战略领域问题，以实现自我组织的M2M沟通。该项目将导致（1）可扩展路由和名称分辨率的新颖技术和方法，而不是有线和无线网络的集合； （2）用于网络优化的实时性能监视； （3）M2M网络的动态加载和灵活的流量控制算法。拟议的项目将将拟议的解决方案从理论到现实生活实施，从而提供适合商业化工作的概念验证原型。
