Center for Intelligent Networked Systems

Wireless communication lies at the heart of powerful new applications offering a rich combination of voice, data, multimedia, and more.  Delivery of information-data among networks is evolving to more intelligent systems.  Solutions to the most challenging problems of information security involve establishing a cooperative and intelligent infrastructure of networks. 

The Center for Intelligent Networked Systems (iNetS) studies this vast, compelling field in an effort to unlock the secrets of network intelligence, extend the functional capabilities of wireless communications, and provide intrinsic network security. We apply that knowledge with a long-term lens to engineer innovative solutions with global impact.

iNetS explores opportunities for insertion of intelligence within networked systems to achieve "smart" systems whose components easily work with one another. Networked systems extend from large scale systems of diverse interconnected networks through specialized networks optimized for targeted applications to the end-points of networks. iNetS explores the systematic insertion of intelligence at all points throughout this complex system-of-systems to achieve ease of operation and quality of service. For this purpose, iNetS explores insertion of intelligence within points of the overall networked system, consistent with the needs of adjacent connected components.

Working on multiple diverse projects, our researchers are focused on finding innovative ways to make network systems and information delivery operate more intelligently and securely for the benefit of humanity. Our current research is sponsored by a broad range of U.S. government agencies and global industry, including Department of Defense.  Our projects fall into four areas of inquiry:

Mobile Sensor Platform Research
Autonomous Deployment of Service Robots in Mobile Sensor Networks
