Welcome to the Decentralized Systems and Network Services Research Group
Prof. Dr. Hannes Hartenstein
Profile
The research group 'Decentralized Systems and Network Services' designs and analyzes protocols and algorithms for computer networks and distributed systems. Our main focus is on increasing the level of self-organisation and self-management in networks and on corresponding efficiency, security and robustness issues. The group has a strong background in ad hoc networking techniques, in particular for inter-vehicle communications, and in IP-based mobility support. Methodology-wise we cover analysis, simulation and actual prototypes and testbeds.
