NET Group received a DAAD PPP research grant

Our group has been awarded with a DAAD PPP research grant for international cooperation with Columbia University, New York, USA.

DAAD Programme des Projektbezogenen Personenaustauschs (PPP) sponsors projects between German institutions and foreign partner institutions for intensive cooperative research. The Computer Networks Group successfully received a grant from the DAAD PPP USA program, on the joint research theme on "New Advances and Applications of Next Generation Internet Signaling", in cooperation with our partner, the Internet Real-Time Lab (IRT) at Columbia University, New York, USA.

The Computer Networks Group (NET) in the Institute for Computer Science at the University of Göttingen was founded in April 2007, performing researches on networks architectures, protocols and applications covering the design, modeling, implementation, evaluation and verification of Internet Quality of Service (QoS) and middlebox control mechanisms, distributed systems, multimedia services and peer-to-peer technologies, mobile networks beyond 3G, and other emerging networked systems and technologies. About nine Ph.D. researchers and seven master students are working towards more reliable, secure and scalable networked systems and applications under the supervision of Prof. Xiaoming Fu.

The Internet Real-Time Lab (IRT) in the Computer Science Department at Columbia University conducts research in the areas of Internet and multimedia services: Internet telephony, wireless and mobile networks, streaming, quality of service, resource reservation, dynamic pricing for the Internet, network measurement and reliability, service location, network security, media on demand, content distribution networks, multicast networks and ubiquitous and context-aware computing and communication. About fifteen graduate students and visitors are exploring various research areas under the guidance of Prof. Henning Schulzrinne.

The project will start from January 2008 and last 2-3 years.

In the scope of this project for year 2008, Prof. Fu will visit Columbia University as a DAAD visiting faculty for 2-3 weeks in March-April 2008, followed with a visit of Prof. Schulzrinne to Goettingen in June 2008. Several research assistants and students will have a foreign visit for about 1-3 months.
