Network Engineering Research Group

Research Areas

The Network Engineering Research Group work in the following areas:

• Cognitive Networks: This research area has a central theme for networks - cognition. Cognition refers to the ability to process information, apply knowledge, and change preferences, according to the state of the network.

• Distributed Systems: Current research is centred on Grid and Cloud computing. We also have interests in eScience and sensor information processing.

• Security, Trust and Cooperation: The focus of our current research is how to improve security for the users who access resources via networks. We contribute to the international Honeynet project and share their goal of learning the tactics and motives involved in computer and network attacks, and sharing the lessons learned.

• Digital preservation: The problem of ensuring that resources created electronically are accessible to future generations is becoming a world wide concern as more and more of our documents and artifacts are "born digital".
