The Telecommunications Laboratory, within the Division of Computer Science of NTUA, has a great
experience in the areas of mobile telecommunications, computer networks, broadband communications,
network management and conformance testing. The group consists of 13 members with Ph.D in the areas
of communication and control and supervises postgraduate research work for more than 30 highly
qualified graduate engineers from NTUA. The majority of these aims at obtaining the Ph.D degree. This
group is entirely devoted to research activities and its members are highly qualified in their corresponding
research fields.
The Telecommunications Laboratory members have extensive theoretical and
computational experience in the fields of design of communication networks, OSI architecture, protocol
verification and simulation, analysis and performance evaluation, distributed database design and
management, ISDN, IBCN, LANs, WANs etc.
Since 1986 the Telecommunications Laboratory has been extensively involved in the RACE, ESPRIT and
BRITE programs supported by the CEC and it has acquired significant expertise in the following areas:
multi-media services, information servers and integrated platform architectures, object-oriented databases,
methods and formalisms for the description of telecommunication/LAN systems and services, network
management, non functional requirements (i.e. Quality of Service, Network Performance, Monitoring,
Security, etc), object modeling, conformance testing of protocols and services, environments for industrial
production of high-quality software, hardware protocol implementation and testing, interconnection
systems design and integration, design and development of interfaces for heterogeneous system
communication, models for high performance networking and system cooperation.
