Welcome to the DARTS Lab!
The DARTS (Distributed and Adaptive Real-Time Systems) Lab performs experimental research on a variety of distributed systems challenges, with a primary focus on wireless and mobile environments, including ad-hoc networks (e.g., mesh and sensor networks). Current areas of research include: wireless real-time communications and networks, energy-efficient networks and systems, resource and QoS management, adaptive operating systems, dependable networks, real-time systems using multi-core architectures, vehicular networks, and mobile systems and applications.
The DARTS Lab was founded in 2004 and is associated with the Wireless Institute, which aims to tackle a host of challenges related to wireless technologies, services, and applications.
