Research Themes

A versatile collection of new research directions are started in this group. On the analytic front, new fundamental theory and models are sought for distributed computation. Capacity limits are investigated to quantify fundamental tradeoffs between time, space, and energy.  On the systems side, challenges are addressed in developing the next generation middleware for cyber-physical applications. New protocols, compilers, programming languages, and operating systems are investigated.
