Distributed computing and computer architectures
“Distributed systems” is a generic term used to indicate any system that is composed of a collection of communicating computational devices, and “distributed computing” refers to computability and complexity issues in such environments. The distributed computing and systems team is quite diverse and complementary, and covers a wide spectrum of aspects of distributed computing and systems, from theory to application, including algorithm design, simulation, networks, architectures and management. Our research focuses on a variety of distributed environments (wired, wireless, ad hoc, mobile, peer-to-peer, self-organized). In these environments our team is interested in various issues, among them design, efficiency, fault tolerance, quality of service, communication software reliability, safety and security.
