Intro:

The System and Network Engineering science group (SNE) focuses its research on emerging new local and wide area optical networks and the associated models, systems and protocols. The group is building tools and proof of concept applications that promote optimal use of these high speed networks. The group develops grid middleware to empower applications to optimally allocate and use these infrastructures. Security of the required mechanisms, infrastructure, middleware, applications and the privacy of data in distributed processing environments is an essential aspect of the research. The research group is closely working together with the SNE Master and the Computer (Grid) Science Master programs to disseminate knowledge through education.
