Mission statement
The System and Network Engineering research group (SNE) focuses its research on emerging new local and wide area optical networks and the associated models, systems and protocols. The group is building tools and proof of concept applications that promote optimal use of these high speed networks. The group develops grid middleware to empower applications to optimally allocate and use these infrastructures. Security of the required mechanisms, infrastructure, middleware, applications and the privacy of data in distributed processing environments is an essential aspect of the research. The research group is closely working together with the SNE Master and the Computer (Grid) Science Master programs to disseminate knowledge through education.
The Systems- and Networking Engineering research is one of the groups in the Institute for Informatics of the University of Amsterdam.

Optical networking
Research in optical networking to learn more about high volume networking in the context of the Grid.
Generic AAA
Research into the AAA aspects, concepts and technologies in the context of the Grid.
Security and privacy
Research in Security and privacy topics.
Programmable networks
Research in new network models with higher programmability.
