Overview

The focus of the research activities of the lab is on software tools and methods for supporting the development of distributed systems and applications, especially on systems for networked and mobile computing. By networked we mean systems and applications are distributed across the Internet, and by mobile we mean systems where some of the nodes are mobile, e.g. handheld wireless-devices. As part of our mission, we try out our tools, methods and software in realistic applications either as research prototypes (demos), or in cooperation with external partners (mainly industry). This area of software technology is very large; therefore we concentrate our efforts on the following areas where we believe we can make innovative contributions:

1. Fully decentralized distributed systems

2. Middleware, libraries and techniques to support distribution

3. Simulation of Large Asynchronous Systems
