Activity of the research group:

Future network applications will fundamentally place new demands on the networks and cloud systems that operate under services. For example, "Tactile Internet" services, which today exist only as a vision, different types of augmented reality applications (AR/VR/MR), remote operations, remote coordinated control of vehicles or remote control of Industry 4.0 production lines require extremely low latency (even below 1ms) with ultra high reliability. This requires much more intelligence, automation and adaptivity at different layers and operational levels of the network, and tight integration of networks and cloud/edge systems, which is a key requirement for the success of 5G and beyond. Our goal is to set up a research team, with the support of Ericsson and the MTA, capable of implementing this new network architecture by softwareising the network. Research will be carried out along the following four long-term objectives:

• Develop new application examples and identify related requirements
• Support the development of new types of network applications
• Developing new types of network services and developing new applications for network services
• Development of a high-performance virtual data plane in, under and between clouds

Recent results:

• Continuous presence in the most prestigious forums with demos of our prototypes
• About 80 "impact factor" journal articles in the last 3-4 years
