Introduction

The activities of G. Q. Maguire Jr. and his students.

The Computer Communication Systems lab (founded in 1995 - terminated as a organizational unit 31 Dec. 2000; continued as a logical unit) is concerned with computer based communication in the broadest possible sense. We are concerned with:

• protocols: implementation, testing, performance measurements, ...
• interaction with those designing and building link and physical layer devices
• interaction with those designing and building application layer clients and services
• effects of mobility on computer communication - when to hide mobility and when to expose it
• ...

Formally the chair is described in the following Swedish: Ämnet omfattar integrerade dator- och kommunikationssystem för personlig databehandling och personalkomunikation, speciellt trådlös kommunikation och effektiva implementerings strategier. (Ref. nr 473/93).
