The Networking and Software Engineering
Laboratory (NetSELab)
supports research on
Software Engineering,
Cloud Computing,
Data Science,
Pervasive
(Ubiquitous) Computing,
Mobile
Computing,
Distributed
Systems,
and Computer
Networking.
The studies actually started in 1997 at
TÜBİTAK-UEKAE by Dr.
Gümüşkaya, and continued in universities and R&D departments of
companies by Dr. Gümüşkaya, his students and colleagues since 2002 .
Pervasive Computing refers to the trend that we as humans
interact no longer with one computer at a time, but rather with a dynamic
set of small networked computers, often invisible and embodied in everyday
objects in the environment.
This figure shows how research problems
in pervasive computing relate to those in mobile computing and distributed
systems.
We currently strive to advance the
state-of-the-art in Networking including Cloud Computing and Data
Science, and Software Engineering and to
create new computing experiences and networking paradigms with mobile,
pervasive, personal, and embedded devices using modern software engineering
principles.
We emphasize both analytical (theory and simulation)
and empirical
approaches, and
build actual systems to validate theoretical results and refine
system principles from experimental work. (Look at our
research cycle figure).
