Mario Vela

My work is very focused on implementing algorithms in the context of Wireless Networks Operations. In particular, my research and interests are in the vision for the Autonomous Network that encompass the autonomic goals of self-healing, self-configuration, self-optimization, and self-protection. I provide strategic and tactical guidance to achieve those goals.
