|
The research areas of the Communication Systems Research Group (CSG) are generally connected with the development of the Internet towards a multi-service, high-performance and flexible communications infrastructure for the information society. The group's research is mainly experimental and systems oriented, and encompasses elements of novel network architectures, middleware and security issues. Specifically, CSG is interested in concepts allowing for a self-organizing and secure communications infrastructure, fulfilling the requirements of today's applications and users. |
The research of the CSG is funded by grants from Swiss research funding bodies (Swiss National Science Foundation and Hasler Foundation), by KTI, providing matching funds for applied research, direct industry grants as well as EU and COST projects. |

Computer Engineering
|
|
The Computer Engineering Research Group (TEC) concentrates on design, engineering methodologies and tools for embedded systems. TEC is active in embedded software for distributed real-time systems as well as in the design of mobile information and communication systems. In particular, we are interested in analytic methods for performance evaluation, multiprocessors-on-chip and sensor networks. In addition, the research group is investigating applications which benefit from multi-objective optimization such as the design of embedded system architectures and embedded software under conflicting criteria. |
Finally, TEC is engaged in research and teaching in the area of speech processing, i.e. text-to-speech synthesis and speech recognition. The research of TEC is funded by direct industry projects, various EU projects, KTI (Swiss Confederation's Innovation Promotion Agency), SNF (Swiss National Science Foundation) and NCCR (Swiss National Research Center). |
