Mobile and Distributed Systems
Mobile and distributed systems research focuses on the challenges brought by the large growth in data volumes through digitalization of society, and the huge increase in connected devices through Internet of Things (IoT). Key challenges in this area include efficient and large scale distributed deployments of accelerated computing hardware and their programming paradigms and algorithmic techniques. We investigate, for instance, how to correctly design massively parallel distributed software systems, how to deal with strict requirements on latency and fault tolerance posed by machine operated applications and services, and how to provide a good quality of experience to human users.
