We perform research into the exciting areas that lie at the intersection of Computer Science, Economics and Mathematics. Our interdisciplinary team brings deep expertise in both the theoretical and applied aspects of the field. We study and design algorithms and protocols in the broad area of systems and services. We consider networked systems in the broadest sense, including both transport and social networks.
Research Areas
 |
NetworksWe research how to design and evaluate performance of networked systems, including computer and communication networks as well as social networks. Examples include network resource allocation problems, rate adaptations in wired and wireless networks, and social networks arising in online services such as email or online games. |
 |
EconomicsWe consider interesting research problems that arise at the intersection of computer science and economics. This includes design and theory of auctions and considering strategic user behavior in the context of electronic commerce. We use methods from mechanism design, algorithmic game theory, and mining of large scale data.
|
 |
AlgorithmsWe work on algorithm design in the broad area of systems and services, including cloud computing and data intensive computations. Our focus is on challenging problems in basic computer science that are of much importance in practice. We use methods from theoretical computer science, applied probability and optimizations. |
