Welcome to Computer Science 7 (Computer Networks and Communication Systems)
The lab deals with protocols and architectures of networked systems and with their analysis and evaluation. To this end, we apply various methods of modeling, simulation, measurement and test and also develop own toolsets. Furthermore, two specific fields of application are investigated so that our research activities can be subdivided into three areas:
Quality-of-Service: Performance evaluation and investigation of new protocols to ensure the quality of service in (safety-critical) networks
Connected Mobility: Modeling and simulation of vehicular networks and connected mobility, used technologies and novel mobility concepts
Smart Energy: Analysis and simulation of smart, networked energy systems based on renewable energies and electric mobility
The teaching curriculum covers fundamental courses such as “Computer Communication” and “Simulation and Modeling” as well as advanced courses such as “Advanced Networking” and specialized topics of both application areas, e.g. “Vehicular Networks” or “Cyber Security for Smart Grids”.
Our research assistant, Mahdi Dibaei, presented the results of his recent research on fault tree analysis at the 6th international conference on System Reliability and Safety Engineering (SRSE 2024). The topic of his paper was "A Heuristic Variable Ordering Approach for Fault Tree Conversion to Bina...
We are excited to announce a brand-new course offering for the upcoming Winter Semester 2024/25 at at the Computer Science 7 (Computer Networks and Communication Systems), Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg.
Course Overview
In today’s hyper-connected world, cybersecurity is no...
Satellite communication has been around for some time, mainly via geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) satellites. The GEO is at an altitude of 35786 km above Earth's equator. This leads to very high propagation delays, resulting in typical round trip times of ~600 ms. Such high latencies are problematic...
Research Project Proposal (Winter Semester 2024/25)
Analysis of Communication Protocols in Smart Grids
Smart grids represent the evolution of traditional electrical grids into more intelligent and interactive systems capable of managing power generation and consumption more efficiently. At the h...
Our research assistant Loui Al Sardy successfully completed his doctorate today. He presented his dissertation entitled "Evolutionary Constraint-based Testing Approach for Software Vulnerability Detection" and passed the defense. Following the publication of his thesis, he will be awarded the academ...
