Embedded, Networked and Distributed Systems
This group systematically explores architectures, models, algorithms, engineering, measurement, and control of embedded, networked, and distributed systems. The group is especially interested in large-scale systems, based on both wireless and wireline interconnection technologies, as well as high-performance system interconnects. Current group interests include:
- Environmental sensor monitoring systems
- Home network monitoring and management systems
- Complex event processing systems
- Routing and broadcasting in wireless, mobile, vehicular, ad hoc networks
- Networked multimedia - transport protocols and standards
- Scalability of the Internet routing architecture
- Content-centric networks
- Novel approaches to network protocol implementation
- Network instrumentation and traffic modelling
- Novel analysis of program code
- Runtime memory management
- Acceleration of computations on parallel platforms
- Programming models for many-core systems
- FPGA and GPU programming
- Functional hardware description languages
- Hypercomputation
