The Computer Communications laboratory is involved with education and research on all aspects of computer communications. Ongoing projects in education include an SCCP project on Social Hyper-networking and two topdown courseware design projects, one on High-speed Network Courseware Design for Synthetic Worlds and another on an authoring system called AuthCAL for topdown courseware development environments.
The social hyper-networking project aims at providing communication facilities such as electronic mail, voice mail, electronic conferencing, bulletin boards, real time talk and facsimiles. The AuthCAL project has the goal of providing an object-oriented graphical user interface and programming tools to make some teaching materials. The high-speed network courseware project aims at designing graduate and undergarduate level courses to teach the basics of high-speed networking.
In research, all aspects of computer networking are being investigated. However, present interest areas are concentrated on:
We are doing collaborative research with several Japanese and foreign universities and research centers. In Japan, our partner researchers work in Shizuoka, Tohoku and Osaka Universities and the Advanced Institute of Communications in Sendai. Overseas, we collaborate with Protocol Test Center in Montreal, Canada; Sherbrooke University in Sherbrooke, Canada, Omnipoint Corporation in Colorado Springs, U.S.A; Ege University in Izmir, Turkey; and GMD National Center for Information Technology in Darmstadt, Germany.
The Computer Communications laboratory presently has the following equipment and software systems:
