Collaborating Labs
Cloud computing, Grid computing
The Laboratory for Internet Computing (LINC) - formerly High Performance Computing
Lab - focuses its research activities on three important areas of Internet Computing,
namely Cloud and Grid computing, Web data management and Vehicular computing. In
the first area, LINC concentrates on the development of Cloud-based Systems, Interoperability
amongst different Clouds, Content Delivery Networks, Benchmarks and Testbeds, Data
Grid Applications in Medicine, Autonomic Systems and Software Tools. In the second
area, the Laboratory concentrates on Decentralized Online Social Networks, Web Communities,
Data Mashups & Web 2.0, Web Searching and semantic Web. In the third area, LINC
focuses on Vehicular Service Protocols, Information Dissemination and Network Modeling.
Data management
The Data Management Systems Laboratory (DMSL) belongs
to the Computer Science Department and focuses on Data Engineering Systems and Knowledge
Discovery Solutions for emerging networks and systems (smartphone, sensor, crowd,
peer-to-peer, etc.)" DMSL is the newest laboratory of the Department, established
in 2010. DMSL has recently implemented a 80K Euros infrastructure
development grant to setup a state-of-the-art hardware testbed of 50+ smartphone
devices to enable research in that areas. DMSL is hosted in a 10-seat laboratory,
located in the brand-new university campus in Aglantzia, Nicosia.
Computer Networks
NetRL is part of the Computer Science Department of the University of Cyprus (UCY). It was established in the year 2002 in an effort to promote and coordinate research activities in all areas of Networks Research, including wireline and wireless, mobile and ad-hoc, MANETS and VANETS, and sensor networks.
