Welcome to The Centre for Networks, Communications and Systems

The Centre for Networks, Communications and Systems is world-leading for our research into networked systems. Our critical mass allows us to span all layers in the network stack, covering physical to application layer concerns. The centre currently consists of approximately 30 academic staff and multi PhD students and postdocs. Our work is consistently published in A* venues such as ACM SIGCOMM, ACM SIGMETRICS, USENIX NSDI, ACM IMC, alongside major journals such as Proceedings of the IEEE, IEEE JSAC, ACM/IEEE Transactions on Networks, IEEE Transactions of Wireless Communications, IEEE Transactions on Communications, etc.
