Smart Networks and Services (SmartNetS) Lab
Using techniques/models from AI/ML and theories/principles from social science to make future networks and digital infrastructure intelligent, efficient, trustworthy and reliable.
Who we are
We are a team of researchers working with a range of industry partners to design intelligent future networks and digital infrastructure, so that they can cope with the demands of a future, interconnected society.
What we do
We are using cutting-edge techniques, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, to design a new way for complex networks and digital infrastructure to operate. This involves predicting demand from many different users, working out how to share resources most efficiently, and developing responsible and trustworthy solutions to people and society.
Our objectives
Intelligence
Efficiency
Trust
