The Internet in some sense has become a victim of its own success, leading to new requirements that challanges old design principles. In the Winternet programme we conduct research with the aim to address those issues while both working within the current architecture, and creating new architectural constructs.
The current Winternet program is a 2-year continuation of the original 3-year Winternet program, both funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research [http://www.stratresearch.se/]. Winternet is a collaboration with Luleå University of Technology [http://www.ltu.se/inst/csee], Royal Institute of Technology [http://www.ee.kth.se/lcn/], and Uppsala University [http://www.it.uu.se/research/group/coregroup].
The purpose of the Time Bending project is to create effective tools for testing and analysis of seemingly random and irreproducible software errors. The idea is to use techniques and abstractions that have been successfully used for testing complex hardware in order to raise the quality of software testing. Time Bending is a Vinnova funded project that spans three years. The project is carried out in cooperation with Uppsala University.
Ambient Networks is a large-scale Integrated Project funded by the EU. The project is headed by Ericsson and involves about 40 partners. The first two-year project phase was ended 2005. The current phase 2 runs 2006-2007. The overall purpose of the project is to build a new mobile network architecture, beyond that of 3G. The keyword is network composition, and the project aims to build mechanisms for composing networks ranging from personal area networks to mobile and home networks with fixed infrastructures.
The vision of the RUNES project is to enable the creation of large scale, widely distributed, heterogeneous networked embedded systems that interoperate and adapt to their environments. The inherent complexity of such systems must be simplified for programmers if the full potential for networked embedded systems is to be realised. As a consequence, it is our belief that the vision of networked embedded systems everywhere can only be realised if the architecture on which they are built is standardised and can self-organise to suit the environment as it happens to be from moment to moment.
RUNES is an Integrated Project funded by the European Commision under the Information Society Technology priority within the 6th Framework Programme.
Embedded systems are characterized by their very need to interact with the environment. This interaction can take place in the form of sensing as well as actuation. Because of system complexity, isolated entities can no longer perform this interaction efficiently or reach the required control objectives. Hence, even in the interaction with, exploration of and control of the environment, cooperation between individual entities becomes a necessity, jointly controlling and influencing the physical processes in large-scale systems.

Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) deals with communication for "challanged networks" which are networks where the communication environment may be far from ideal with high error rates, large delays and sporadic connectivity.
With the DTN/SN project we intend to contribute to the design and implementation of the general DTN architecture with specific focus on wireless sensor/actuator networks (SN).
Project partners are
Bombardier Transportation,
Ericsson Microwave Systems AB,
Umeå Marine Sciences Centre,
SaabTech AB,
Wireless Device AB, and
Raditex AB
This project is funded by VINNOVA.
Under the EU's 6th Framework program, one collaborative
initiative brings industry and universities together in a
"Network of Excellence". These pages describe the areas in
which the CNA group can contribute to collaborative
effort. The E-NEXT home page can be found here.
The goal of the Evalunet project is to develop efficient and accurate methods and tools to measure available network capacity as well as other network characteristics. In the project, methods and tools for end-to-end measurements are investigated as well as methods and tools for network tomography, i.e., large-scale collaborative measurements performed by computers at the network edge.
Project partners are Mälardalen University, Ericsson, Gatorhole, II-stiftelsen, Netintact and TeliaSonera. The project is funded by Vinnova.
CNA pursues research within two PAMP subprojects. The project "Simulation Concepts to Model Real-Time Properties of Symmetric Multiprocessor Systems" aims at using the Simics complete system simulator to build tools for predictable performance analysis and debugging of soft real-time and parallel software.
The second project, called "Towards Predictable Overload Control of Large Real-Time Server Systems", deals with overload protection and quality of service for Internet servers, web servers in particular.
Connected is a collaboration with Uppsala University. It is a project in the SITI Internet3 program. The project is co-funded by Ericsson Research.
This work is sponsored by Vinnova (formerly Nutek).
eVote is a project in the SITI Internet3 program.
The other project partners were INRIA Sophia Antipolis, University College London, Uppsala University, University of Technology in Sydney and Dassault Electronique.
The IPv6 development was performed with support from HP.
