The main integrating topic of the research in the laboratory is collaborative environements with special attention paid to network-centric collaborative systems. The other areas related to the collaborative environments however form much broader context:

• Advanced high-performance networking and its applications.
• Multimedia processing and distribution.
• Self-organizing network-centric systems.
• Virtualization of both computers and networks.
• GPU acceleration of various applications and algorithms.
• Haptic interactions.
• Scheduling for distributed systems.
