About BCDS

The BCDS group (ref. GRCT40) is active in two main research areas: Broadband Network Control and Management and Distributed Systems. The group has led several long-term governmental projects involving other universities and companies like Internet Service Providers and Public Health Institutions. These projects, along with the basic research performed on the group, bring about many publications and contributions on international journals, symposiums and conferences. BCDS carries out its research within the Institute of Informatics and Applications at the University of Girona, and it is part of the DURSI consolidated research group COMUNICACIONS I SISTEMES INTEL·LIGENTS (CSI) (ref. SGR-1202).

The following are BCDS current research topics:

Broadband Network Control and Management

• Control and Management of Quality of Service (QoS) networks
• Multi-Agent Systems in Distributed Network Management
• Optimization Techniques (Ant Colony Opt., Multi-objective Genetic Algorithms, Linear Programming, etc)
• Dynamic Resource Allocation and Load Balancing
• Charging for Multicast QoS Services
• Multi-level ([G]MPLS & optical) Routing and Protection mechanisms
• Metro Ethernet: Control and Scalability issues
• Network Security: Antispam Systems and Security of Network Services

Distributed Systems

• Distributed Processing and Parallelism (Grids)
• Distributed Artificial Intelligence: Multi-Agent Systems
• Open and Distance Learning:
  • Adaptive Models for Collaborative Distance Learning
  • Dynamic Adaptive Hypermedia Systems
