SCIENCE

In 1996, by Prof. Willie Donnelly and has grown to over one hundred people

Fraunhofer, CNRS, HP Labs, Deutsch Telecom, Intel, IBM, Cisco

Leading software R&D Centre with particular expertise in networks and communications services.

Connected globally with other Research centres, this is reflected in the Post Doc’s and PhD Students with a total of 40 in NetLabs

is internationally recognised as doing world class science and being able to translate this into some of the hottest mobile start-ups and technologies in the industry right now.

SFI FAME From Science to engineering

IBM, Unified Communications (UC), QoE and Performance UC (video / voice/ messaging) are an important application and an area of competence for IBM!

Engineering Services

• Understanding the QoE and end-to-end performance!

• Testing and auto-tuning of the applications in order to mitigate issues with non-

ideal network conditions. !

• Developed solutions and new IP that eventually lead to integration of these

solutions into their UC product portfolio (collaborators UCD and NUIM).!

• Policy Frameworks in context of Network federations and governance !

• Policy continuum mapping business logic to physical layer configurations!

• Policy evaluation performance !
