Research Projects
CoMo - CoMo (Continuous Monitoring) is a passive monitoring system. CoMo has been designed to be the basic building block for a network monitoring infrastructure that will allow researchers and network operators to easily process and share network traffic statistics over multiple sites. The architecture of CoMo is designed to compute and report various performance metrics while sustaining high speed traffic collection.
Delay Tolerant Networks - The Delay-Tolerant Networking Research Group (DTNRG) is concerned with how to address the architectural and protocol design principles arising from the need to provide interoperable communications with and among extreme and performance-challenged environments where continuous end-to-end connectivity cannot be assumed.
Dynamic Physical Rendering - The goal of the Dynamic Physical Rendering (DPR) project, a collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University, is to create the next media type beyond audio and video. Specifically, researchers are attempting to capture and reproduce 3D scenes, including moving, physical 3D objects, that human senses would accept as real. This would eliminate the need for cumbersome virtual reality gear and overcome the viewing angle limitations of modern 3D approaches. The replicas would mimic the shape and appearance of a person or object being imaged in real time, and as the originals moved, so would their replicas. These 3D models would be physical entities, not holograms. You could interact with them just as if they were in the room with you.
Internet Suspend / Resume - Internet Suspend/Resume (ISR) is a new approach to personal computing in which a user's entire computing environment is stored in the network. ISR relies on virtual machine technology to capture and restore this environment, which includes the operating system, applications, data files, and customizations, on thick-client machines. This technology promises to improve the manageability of client machines by providing services such as full-system backup and restore while simultaneously enabling new features such as rapid environment migration.
Open DHT - Open DHT is a publicly accessible DHT service that allows any client code, running on any host on the Internet, to execute put and get operations on key-value pairs. The high-availability key-value store provided by Open DHT takes much of the client-side complexity out of implementing indirection, rendezvous, and other communication models frequently employed by distributed applications.
Optical Networking - The objective of this research is to enable use of optical components in computer systems by exploiting advantages of photonics for scalability and bandwidth, in particular looking into switched optical datapaths in storage and loosely coupled processor interconnects.
PlanetLab - PlanetLab is an global, open, shared testbed for developing, deploying, and accessing planetary-scale network services
Public Health for the Internet (PHI) - The PHI (Public Health for the Internet) project takes the concept of Internet security to a new level, focusing on the Internet community as a whole rather than on individual users.
Xen Virtual Machine Monitor - Intel Research has been exploring the application of virtual machine technology to make it easier for users to recover from hardware or software failures.

Past Success Stories
IrisNet - IrisNet is an architecture and system for a worldwide sensor web. The sensor web combines a variety of sensor types, including video, and permits globally distributed data collection, actuation, and data mining.
