The Smart Emerging Technologies Lab investigates research which aims to develop more proactive, intelligent, adaptive or autonomous systems that can learn, adapt and make decisions without the need for human control.
SET research informs and contributes to a new level of learning and intelligence where, for example, telecommunications networks can observe and predict the status of the systems that carry different types and classes of traffic (e.g. HD video, IP TV, medical applications, secure traffic, etc.) and adapt behaviours of the network protocols and connected devices for flow control, congestions control, queueing and routeing accordingly.
