University of Amsterdam – NL

The research themes within the System and Network Engineering (SNE) Research group cover a wide range of disciplines ranging from optical and programmable networks for the Future Internet to high level distributed system model and software engineering. The group is building tools and proof of concept applications that promote optimal use of these high-speed networks for data intensive application.

SNE works also in close collaboration with the Amsterdam Data Science which is a platform for collaboration cross discipline around the data science theme. In collaboration with SURFnet and the Dutch National super computer centre (SURFsara), UvA has capabilities to access high-speed optical test bed installations in the optical photonic backbone of SURFnet in the Netherlands and internationally in the Global Lambda Integrated Facility (GLIF). UvA is a founding member and key contributor to CineGrid, GLIF and OGF14.
