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”.
We are excited to announce that registration is now open for the CYBERGY FAU Summer School on Network Protection for Energy Control Systems, taking place from April 7 to April 11, 2025, at the Chair of Computer Science 7, FAU Erlangen.
This 5-day intensive training program is designed to provide ...
During ongoing research at the Chair of Computer Networks and Communication Systems, two old bugs in queuing disciplines of the Linux kernel were discovered. These affected network packet processing in Linux-based emulation environments, which are widely used in research on network protocols. To fix...
Our doctoral candidate Christoph Funda successfully completed his doctorate yesterday. He presented his dissertation and passed the defense. After publication of his thesis, he will be awarded the academic degree “Dr.-Ing.” by the Faculty of Engineering at FAU.
We congratulate him and wish him al...
On Thursday, October 24th, our former research assistent Lisa Maile was invited to participate in the panel discussion "Make Yourself Seen – Visibility for Women in STEM". Together with Prof. Dr. Ing. habil Philipp Beckerle, Annika Briegleb, Prof. Dr. Friedlinde Götz-Neunhoeffer, and Prof. Dr. Manam...
Together with the University of Aberdeen, we participated in the IETF121 in Dublin. In the Hackathon, the benefit of Careful Resume was demonstrated, a video is available online. The results were further discussed in the Transport Area Working Group (TSVWG) and the Internet Congestion Control Resea...
Last week, our research assistant Corinna Seiwerth had the fantastic opportunity to attend the Base4NFDI User Conference - a platform that brings together researchers, developers and experts from different NFDI consortia to share ideas on innovative solutions and challenges. The focus of the event w...
Our research assistant, Mahdi Dibaei, participated in the ICSRS Conference held in Catania, Italy, last week, where he presented his research titled "Integrating Fault Tree Analysis into Model-Based Product Line Engineering in Railway Vehicles."
