RouteNet-Erlang is a pioneering GNN architecture designed to model computer networks. RouteNet-Erlang supports complex traffic models, multi-queue scheduling policies, routing policies and can provide accurate estimates in networks not seen in the training phase.
Participants in the project can assume the following roles:
User: someone using the framework code, who contributes by helping other users on the mailing lists, reporting bugs or suggesting features.
Developer: a user active in discussions on the developer mailing list, contributing to the source code, the examples library, or documentation. Their contributions are added to the source tree by a committer.
Committer: a developer with write access to the source code repository. Commit access is granted by the Project Management Committee.
Project Management Committee (PMC) member: PMC members control the direction of the project, based on consensus. The PMC sets the priorities for the features to be developed, grants and revokes commit access, and decides what can and cannot be merged into the source tree.
The first PMC was established at the time of the open-sourcing of the initial code and will govern the project. The project has been kick-started at BNN, UPC, and the PMC memberships reflect this. During the first years, the goal of the PMC is to engage with the community, disseminate the model and incorporate members from other contributing organizations. After a while, a PMC based on merit in contributions and demonstration of commitment to the project will be elected by the committers, from the committers. The exact procedures will be discussed on the developer mailing list, and this document will be updated to reflect the outcome of those discussions when the PMC feels that consensus is reached.
The current members of the PMC are:
- Miquel Ferriol-Galmés (miquel.ferriol@upc.edu)
- José Suárez-Varela (jose-rafael.suarez-varela@upc.edu)
- Albert Cabellos-Aparicio (alberto.cabellos@upc.edu)
- Pere Barlet-Ros (pbarlet@ac.upc.edu)
