Design of Network Algorithms
The research topic DNA (short for “Design of Networking Algorithms”) studies data structures and algorithms for networking in its broadest sense: from social networks over biological networks to transportation networks.
Indeed, the group started research on telecommunication network algorithms, but quickly found innovative ways to apply these techniques to other networking-related domains. From a theoretical point-of-view, the data structures and algorithms are the same, and as such the group’s expertise and code-base is highly valued in both academic as well as industrial environments.
The main focus lies in the research and development of high-performance code, combining advanced data structures with sophisticated algorithms, and creating in-house libraries to tackle new challenges and push the frontiers of science even further.
