MoCoNet

• Conducts fundamental research at the cutting edge
  of new and emerging technologies in
• Mobile networks
• Intelligent networks and autonomous systems
• Embedded, ubiquitous and mobile computing
• Control of mobile environments
• Internet and mobile commerce including privacy
  and security

MoCoNet mobile and networks

• Much of the current work is targeted at protocol
  development and performance studies of fixed and
  mobile networks
• Control of large systems, optimisation and data
  mining are essential tools
• Convergence of telephone, data and entertainment
  generate applications that drive some of the
  research

5
Research Projects (sample)

• RFID tag applications for integrated e-commerce
  and recycling
• Traffic modelling self similar traffic for
  Internet and streaming video
• Internet Security and Security as a QoS metric
• Performance Modelling of 3G/4G networks
• WiFi (802.11) network and protocol optimisation

6
Differentiation

• From the Computer Science perspective rather than
  Engineering
• Protocols not coding and transmission
• Simulation rather than analytical modelling
• Web site http//mcn.inf.brad.ac.uk
• Applications, e-commerce, supply chain
• Learning, control, automata,
• Grant income potential collaboration on 4
  proposals
• Visits from industry two or three per month
