ComNets Bremen: Who are we?

The main research focus of the Sustainable Communication Networks group at the University of Bremen is design and performance analysis of communication networks and their protocols. This includes the implementation of prototypes as well as performance studies by mathematical analysis and simulation. The main keywords are: sensor networks, opportunistic networks, future internet. An important aspect across all reseach projects is sustainability in a two-fold aspect, i.e. how communication networks can enhance the sustainability of networking applications, and how the network itself can be designed in a sustainable way. Research projects are mainly funded by national and international government institutions.

The group consists of several post-docs as well as fully employed research assistants working on research projects and their doctoral thesis. Additionally there is a small technical and assisting team and many students working as student workers or doing their thesis.
