Projects & Initiatives
_________
Adaptive Wireless Networks
This project aims to design new resource allocation algorithms for wireless networks, taking specifically into account the highly dynamic, constantly changing nature of their environment and their reliance on lightweight protocols to optimise the use of available resources.
_________
Algorithmic Selection on the Internet
This research project seeks to develop a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the societal implications of algorithmic selection technologies and the various applications/services which base themselves upon it.
_________
Automatic Web Data Collection
The project aims to develop models and techniques to express Web-based data collection guidelines, rules and policies at different levels of abstraction. The finalised results will be realised in a suitable application.
_________
Bringing Internet Access to Disconnected Populations in Developing Countries
This project aims at studying the fundamental trade-offs involved in designing a hybrid communication architecture. The goal is to bring modern communication services to populations in remote communities with sparse and patchy communication infrastructure.
_________
CAMA
The CAMA project seeks to develop a spatiotemporal analysis technique for Context-Aware Movement Analysis through the integration of spatiotemporal analysis, data mining and computational geometry.
_________
mPlane
The mPlane project is developing a measurement tool for assessing the root causes of internet performance and availability issues.
_________
Optimisation of Networks against Malicious Attacks
The goal of this project is to optimise model networks in a dynamical process, changing their topology in the search for robust structures which can withstand malicious attacks.
_________
SmartGrid
The project team aims to create a new environment for the optimized and secure management of electricity distribution using dedicated, mixed-mode, microelectronic Integrated Circuits and a real-time Information and Communication Technology layer.
_________
SmartSphincter
The aim of this project is to develop a prototype artificial anal sphincter so as to improve the treatment of patients with severe FI. The device should replace the destroyed natural muscle function using low-voltage electrically activated polymers (EAPs) controlled by implemented pressure sensors and the patient.
_________
The SRT-15 Research Project
The objective of the SRT-15 research project is to bridge the gap between cloud infrastructures and enterprise services through building a distributed service platform.
_________
Trustworthy Cloud Storage
This project identifies three “nightmare” scenarios that illustrate typical concerns and which discourage wider adoption of cloud computing services: malicious users, and low performance. In this context, the project team aims to adders these scenarios by contributing to the development of secure, verifiable and robust services for storing data on the cloud.
_________
Web of Things
Web of Things is an online community centred round the notion of developing a Web of internet connected Things that seamlessly connects the physical world with the virtual.
_________
Web-based Infrastructure for the Internet of Things
The goal of this project is to develop the core components which will transform the Internet of Things from a vague concept and a basic infrastructure into an open and accessible system integrated into the World Wide Web
