Networking Laboratory (NetLab)

Networking Laboratory (NetLab)

The Network Laboratory’s work focuses on theoretical research and the construction of engineering solutions in computer networks. We propose concepts, models, analysis, algorithms and software products to improve the transmission of information on the Internet, to reach the capacity of wireless networks, to understand the dynamics of social networks and to control these large network systems.

Lines of Research

Analytical and simulation models for wired and wireless networks, and data centers (delay and loss, quality of service, coverage, outage and spectral efficiency, scheduling and resource allocation)

Green networking, energy efficiency in the design, architecture and operation of communication devices and equipment (interfaces, switches / routers, base stations, data centers).

Online social networks, especially applied to education (data analytics, data mining in OSN, structural analysis of OSN).

Virtualization of network functions and services (NFV / SDN virtual services and services models, network slicing and ONOS / OpenStack resource federation).
