Systems and Networking

The systems and networking group at UCSD engages in a wide range of experimental and theoretical research. Our current projects span fault-tolerant networks and systems, high-speed router design, storage system design, network measurement and traffic analysis, peer-to-peer system design, network security, mobile code architectures, high-performance cluster computing, and wireless networking. Our group consists of nine core faculty, four affiliated faculty (in a broad range of areas including security, machine learning and programming languages) and over 60 graduate students and research staff. Our work is well-supported through generous funding from government and industrial sources.

Michael Vrable Joins Google
(5/19/11) As a sad day for the department, Chez Bob czar Michael Vrable defended his thesis today.

It is also an unfortunate day for the UCSD Programming Contest team as well, as Michael retires as a long-time coach and mentor for so many students over the years. Congratulations, Michael! We already miss you — the soda machine is out of Coke again... -
