Main Application Domains

Maestro 's main application area is networking, to which we apply modeling, performance evaluation, optimization and control. Our primary focus is on protocols and network architectures, and recent evolutions include the study of the Web and social networks, as well as models for Green IT.

• Wireless (cellular, ad hoc, sensor) networks: Wlan , WiMAX, Umts , Lte , Hspa , delay tolerant networks (DTN), power control, medium access control, transmission rate control, redundancy in source coding, mobility models, coverage, routing, green base stations,

• Internet applications: social networks, content distribution systems, peer-to-peer systems, overlay networks, multimedia traffic, video-on-demand, multicast;

• Information-Centric Networking (ICN) architectures: Content-Centric Network (CCN, also called Content-Oriented Networks);

• Internet infrastructure: TCP, high speed congestion control, voice over IP, service differentiation, quality of service, web caches, proxy caches.
