The Computer
Networks and Distributed Systems (CNDS) Research Group has
some 20 staff members, and is divided
into a number of subgroups:
the CompNet
group, the Distributed
Systems group, and the Network
Security group.
Publications: Journal
articles,
Conference

People.
CompNet group
The group is currently working on QoS
in mobile & wireless networks, cooperative networks, sensor and
Ad-Hoc networks, security in Ad Hoc routing, and packet trace
generation.
The projects and
publications links below lead to fuller information about this and
other work in the group.
Distributed Systems group
The group is currently working on economics oriented
distributed systems, particularly on resource allocation mechanisms for
Grid and peer-to-peer, on decentralized systems applied to Ambient
Networks, and applications supporting cooperative learning
(CSCL). The projects and
publications links below lead to fuller information about this and
other work in the group.
Projects:
-
Catnets
Economic algorithms for resource allocation.
-
SORMA
Development of methods and tools for an efficient market-based
allocation of resources, through a self-organizing resource management
system, using market-driven models supported by extensions for Grid
infrastructures.
- Grid4All
Grid4All aims at enabling domestic users, non-profit organisations
such as schools, and small enterprises, to share their resources and to
access massive Grid resources when needed, envisioning a future in
which access to resources is democratised, readily available,
cooperative, and inexpensive.
Network Security group
The group is currently working on different aspects of
network security. The projects and
publications links below lead to fuller information about this and
other work in the group.
