Systems

Systems research in the School of Computer Science, covers the broad areas of distributed systems, networked systems, sensor systems and data-intensive systems.

Systems research in the School of Computer Science involves several interdisciplinary faculty members, and a large cohort of Research Fellows and PhD students. Our interdisciplinary nature means that we can work on projects which cross multiple areas of systems research, many in collaboration with industry partners. Staff working in this theme have expertise in research areas spanning: data centres, cloud computing, many-core systems, networking, middleware, sensor networking, machine learning, Internet of Things (IoT), autonomic computing, and software architectures.

We take a very practical approach to research, by building and evaluating real systems, whilst publishing in many of the top-tiered systems research conferences and journals. Systems research is currently funded through several organisations, including EPSRC, Adobe, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, ADRCS, and the ESRC.
