Overview

The research focus of the Networks and Distributed systems (ND) group is devising architectures and paradigms for future distributed applications and services. Our areas of interest include

• Interconnection networks: tightly coupled networks with extreme requirements to throughput, latency and reliability
• Adaptation middleware: middleware support for context-aware QoS sensitive applications (mobility, multimedia, Grid Computing)
• Distribution middleware: publish-subscribe and content delivery in large-scale heterogeneous settings
• Dependability middleware: replication and transactional middleware for building highly available systems, modeling techniques for characterization

The ND group has been appointed as a top-tier research group of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. This status has primarly been achieved through our participation in the iAd Centre for Research-based Innovation (SFI).

The ND group is affiliated both with the University of Oslo and Simula Research Laboratory.
