Systems and scalability
This group focuses on research in systems, performance and scalability. The group investigates how scale can be used as a key aspect for the design, implementation and validation of computer and information systems.
The group focuses on both theoretical foundations and application of systems and scalability – these include:
- Systems and Performance Modelling: Petri nets, Markov Models and Process Algebra
- Representation: Graph-based models of scalable systems
- Implementation: Cloud/Edge systems, Internet of Things and high performance computing
- Applications: Scientific Computing, Scalable sensing in smart cities, scalable machine learning
- Testbeds: for evaluating systems research.
Aims
We aim to bring together theoretical foundations and practical aspects of systems and scale.
Research
Research topics currently of interest to group members include:
- Use of tools for representing scalable systems: Petri nets (Reference net) Modelling, Using Process Algebras and stochastic representations for modelling systems (Reinecke, Pereira, Theodorakopoulos)
- Performance Analysis and Monitoring: Monitoring container frameworks (Kubernetes, Docker) and IoT environments (Pereira, Rana, Theodorakopoulos)
- System of systems and scalable cyber-physical simulation (Saxena).
Projects
Current resarch projects include:
- DTE+ - Decarbonising Transport Through Electrification
- IoTGarage
- 5G CoCoRES - Scalable sensing and services using 5G infrastructure.

Ymchwil sy’n gwneud gwahaniaeth
Mae ein hymchwil yn gwneud gwahaniaeth i fywydau pobl wrth i ni gweithio ar draws disgyblaethau er mwyn ymgodymu â phrif heriau sy’n wynebu’r gymdeithas, yr economi ac ein hamgylchedd.
Ymchwil ôl-raddedig
Mae ein graddau ymchwil yn rhoi'r rhyddid i chi i archwilio pwnc arbennig mewn dyfnder ymhlith ymchwilwyr blaenllaw.
Ein heffaith ymchwil
Mae'r astudiaethau achos hyn yn rhoi sylw i rai o'r meysydd lle rydym yn cael effaith ymchwil gadarnhaol.
