Research
Our laboratory envisions a
future of networked society. Our purpose is to identify the infrastructure
fundamentals and lead research and development towards its realization.
We conduct researches with emphasis both in designing network systems from
application viewpoints and implementing "proof of concepts" prototypes.
Our projects cover a large spectrum: context-aware computing, sensor network,
mobile network, green network, photonic network, and new generation network
architecture. We also try to understand how trends in technological
development give us new approaches for overcoming limits of the existing
system architectures.
Although it is difficult to predict our future, we can "create" our future
by ourselves. Technologies have a power to change our societies. We should
learn from the fact that nobody dreamed of Internet and cellular phones to
become this popular. We need flexible thinking in networking research.
Let's develop innovative networking technologies and applications with bold
and flexible thinking together. Making the Vision a Reality! |
