Research
Our research interests are in the field of communication and networked systems. For this, we pursue a system oriented and prototypical development of future communication and networked system, at the same time having a holistic view on the general system. The figure depicts the research area and the surrounding related topics. The Internet of Things (IoT) is in the center, which is embraced by applications, resilience, and networks. This emphasizes the system-oriented experimental research.
Our research includes the design and performance evaluation of communication and networked systems, protocols and architectures for these. Thus, this, we study the performance of networked and communication systems from the technical performance metrics point of view, quality of service (QoS), quality of experience, and real-time services.
The main application areas of our research are Smart-Cities, Industry 4.0, Internet of Things (IoT), and Digital Twins.
For the experimental research, we develop and operate the MIoT-Lab as an experimental laboratory that enables holistic research in the aforementioned fields.
The MIoT-Lab is open for students, scientists, and industrial partners.
