Important! On June 1 2007 the CNA lab changed its name to NETS.
The CNA webpages are since then no longer updated.

Research
The research of the Computer and Network Achitectures laboratory
encompasses three areas: traffic management,
communication architectures and communication in systems of
tiny devices.
Traffic management
In the traffic management area
we conduct research to enhance the
performance and utilization of the networks that the Internet
builds on. Important topics are traffic characterization,
performance optimization, network management and network monitoring.
Current projects in the area are
Selfman (a CNS project) and
Winternet.
For more information see the
traffic management web pages.
Communication architectures
Our research in the communication architectures area deals with
issues that are related to how communication protocols and network
interaction work together in an increasingly dynamic
communication environment. Specific research issues are network
architecture, multi-access systems, cross-layer issues,
Voice-over-IP, handover between mobile and fixed infrastructure
systems, ad hoc networking, power management in wireless networks, and
delay tolerant networking (DTN).
Current projects in the area are
Ambient Networks,
RUNES,
Winternet, and
Nwarch (a CNS project.
Communication in systems of tiny devices
The research relating to communication for tiny devices is
in the areas of wireless sensor networks and embedded
communication. In particular, the focus is on challenged
communication environments with potentially high delays and high
bit error rates, and on how to connect the embedded networks with
fixed IP network infrastructures.
Current projects in the area are
RUNES and
Embedded WiSeNts.
