The HoWNet (Holistic Wireless and Wired Networks) team, hosted at the LIP Laboratory, studies various aspects of computer networks with a special interest in wireless and wired networks, their modeling, and the evaluation of their performance.
We investigate heterogeneous wireless networks where multiple technologies cooperate to find efficient trade-offs between performance and energy consumption. Technologies of interest include (but are not limited to) short-range, cellular, and LPWAN technologies.
We also investigate modern programmable networks, developing monitoring tools that simplify network understanding and management, delivering improved performance, usability, reliability, and security.
Topics of interest
Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Performance Evaluation
- Analytical Modeling
- Measurements tools, Testbeds, and Experiments
- QoS provisioning and Resource management
- AI-based network management
- Distributed Algorithms and Protocols
- Software Defined Network
- Internet of Things
- Energy efficient networks
- Privacy-oriented architectures
- Traffic analysis
Scientific foundations
Our scientific foundations lie in performance evaluation be it using analytical models, simulators, or experiments, or the three combined.
