Welcome!
The Communications Systems Research Group CSG at the Computer Science
Department (Institut für Informatik, IFI)
of the University of Zurich, UZH, Switzerland
was founded in September 2004.
Its key mission is to establish excellent research in communications,
addressing communication protocols for distributed systems, charging,
accounting, mobility, security, network management, and peer-to-peer systems.
Secondly, it is committed to provide a full and up-to-date teaching curriculum
on communications for undergraduate and graduate students, partly in
conjunction with other groups at IFI.
The research group includes at this stage thirteen people in total
and works in a number, highly relevant communication research areas, such as
charging for grids and applications, grid supporting services, accounting for
mobile and fixed networks, economic network management, peer-to-peer systems,
and biometric access control.
