The laboratory conducts research in several areas related with telecommunication networks, including mobile and wireless networks, network traffic management, network calculus, routing and its applications, stochastic models and performance evaluation, and modelling the immune system. The laboratory was active in several projects, such as Network of Excellence projects “Euro-NF” and “Euro-NGI”, Union European projects IST NetRefound, Haggle and Trend, and national projects MICS UWB Network and MICS Cluster 2.
