Advanced Networking and System Research Group
(John C. S. Lui)

The aims of this research group is do fundamental research in the area of networking. We believe that hard and interesting problems (not necessarily having financial potential) in the area of networking need to be solved using (i) rigorous mathematical/analytic approach, as well as (ii) verifying and experimenting using good system building and prototyping. Our group's research spans a wide range of interesting topics, addressing both the lower layers as well as the higher layer networking applications. We believe this is the best way to complement both the applied and theoretical research. Currently, the research group is studying vairous topics including multimedia networking, protocol designs, wireless networks and performance evaluation.

The following are some of the on-going projects in the Advanced Networking and System Research Laboratory:

1. Incentive P2P networks
2. Wireless ad-hoc network
3. BGP routing and stability
4. Self-organized networks & their stability
5. Multipaths Video Streaming and Proxy Design via Dynamic End-points Adaptation
6. Network Security & Intrusion detection
7. Proportional Differentiated Quality-of-Service (QoS) Guaranteed Server: Resource Provisioning and Dynamic Adaptation
8. Ad-hoc Wireless Network: Performance and Applications
9. Applications of Networking Coding to Internet applications and servicees.
10. Dynamic Secure Group Key Management System in a Video Multicasting Platform
