The Computer Networks Group (NetGroup) is a research group focused on computer networks. It is involved in several teaching activities (courses), research projects (both academic and applied research), and consulting activities. Main research directions include:

• Network "softwarization" and Fog Computing (Internet Of Things)
  
  • Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV)
  • Service orchestration and formal methods applied to multi-domain cloud/fog-oriented SDN/NFV-based networks
  • Computing at the edge of the network
• Network-software engineering
  
  • Efficient traffic classification and packet processing
  • Model-based and policy-based development (formally ensuring safety and security)
• Protocol Engineering
  
  • Languages for protocol description
  • Formal verification of security protocols
