Our research group INET  (headed by Prof. Dr. Stefan Schmid)  aims at the investigation of future communication networks and future applications offered through these networks.

The chair focuses on the following research topics:

• algorithms and mechanisms to design and operate communication networks 
• network architectures and protocols for future communication technologies
• performance evaluation and measurement of networked and distributed systems
• network security
• wireless and cellular networks, datacenter networks, social networks,  cryptocurrency networks

Our vision is that networked systems should become self-* (i.e., self-optimizing, self-repairing, self-configuring). 

Accordingly, we are currently particularly interested in automated and data-driven approaches to design, optimize, and verify networked systems.
