The NetSys department (Network Systems) conducts basic research on computer networks, ranging from Internet backbones to networks on chip.
Research focus
Our goal is to provide solutions for the support of resilient, predictable, and flexible networks, as well as for resource efficient networked systems. The ambition is that the technology being developed is relevant to the industry and will also be taken up by (transferred to) the industry.
Research projects
In the years to come, NetSys will
concentrate
on development of solutions for the three following problem areas:
- High performance computing hereunder cloud computing -
encompassing
routing, resilience, congestion management, and flexible virtualization
of computing and networking resources.
- Resilient
and adaptive Internet - encompassing maintaining a sufficient
level of service under a wide range of external challenges, such as
component failures, attacks and unexpected traffic patterns.
- Networks on-Chip (NoC /multi-core systems) - encompassing flexible and power efficient routing and resource allocation (virtualization), as well as exploration of the latency-power trade-off in the design of NoCs.
