Networked Systems (NetSys) Laboratory

The Networked Systems research group is part of the faculty of technology at the Hochschule Emden/Leer.


The group is focused on research in Internet technologies and distributed computing, contributing to the continuous evolution of the Internet.
This is also reflected in the teaching within the Working Group, where the state of the art and recent research results are embedded into the contents of lectures and practical classes.

 

TEACHING

  • Computer Networks
  • IoT Data Processing
  • Industrial Data Transport Technologies
  • Programming 2
  • Programming 3

 

RESEARCH

The group's current main research areas are

  • 5G (as part of the MAVERIC project)
  • Named Data Networking (NDN)
  • Internet/Web of Things technologies (IoT/WoT).


An important aspect across all of these research areas is security at the protocol, network, and implementation level.

Current Project: MAVERIC

The MAVERIC (Middleware for Automated Usage of Edge Resources in Campus Networks) project develops a comprehensive system for pop-up mobile campus networks for 5G and beyond, focusing on autonomy, robustness and support for in-network computing.

On the campus in Emden, we are establishing a 5G campus research network that will eventually also be open for other research groups to power and evaluate 5G-powered applications.

A reliable, comprehensive and powerful network is the basis for digitization. 5G, the fifth generation of the global mobile communications standard, now enables new possibilities for production sites and facilities, logistics systems and other relevant economic areas by wireless, high-capacity and secure networking. In order to support the utilization of the innovative communication technology, the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Action (BMWK) pushes the joint development and testing of application-related solutions for private 5G networks by a funding program for participants from business and research.

More information and concrete research results can be found on the overarching MAVERIC-Website.

Completed Project: PICCOLO

The Piccolo research project was developing new solutions for in-network computing that removed known and emerging deficiencies of edge/fog computing.
