G-Lab (Real-World G-Lab)
Motivation
The internet has become the backbone of our modern industrial society and the global economy in the recent years and the demands on it grew continuously. Today's internet has a great impact on our economy but it's still based on mechanisms and algorithms developed in the 70's and 80's of the last century. New applications for business or private domains demand services the internet was not designed for originally. Those applications face security problems which show the shortfalls of the internet. Of particular interest is the interplay between the possibilities and the demands of the applications.
A main requirement of the future internet is the integration of various networking technologies for different applications. Capturing data from the real world will play a major role for example to collect information about distinct environmental phenomenon and also to give actual context information to the user. The most preferred instruments of the future internet are wireless sensor and mesh networks which collect and provide those data.
Objective
During this project we try to understand how wireless sensor networks, mesh networks and alliances of those networks and related technologies from the "Internet of Things" are adapted to the future internet architectures. We will regard different technologies from the basic communication, service infrastructure up to application related problems. The University of Applied Sciences Lübeck targets on the research of new protocols for mobility support in sensor networks.
