Mission statement

• Keep wireless communication systems reliable, secure and cost-effective- Different levels of the protocol stack that support

communication- MAC, routing, application layers

- Targets: problems related to network management, security, reliability, resource consumption

- Focused on wireless networks, as well as on the interoperability of those networks

- Produce solutions based on multidisciplinary aspects
