The research focus of the Joint Lab is the development of:  

• wireless sensor networks
• intelligent sensors
• communication protocols
• data processing and security
• energy management at all levels
• edge, fog and cloud computing middleware

This Joint Lab investigates all aspects of the practical approaches of distributed measurement systems. Such measurement systems include the resource-constrained part, usually known as wireless sensor network, Internet of Things (IoT) or Cyber Physical Systems (CPS). This sensor and actuator network is installed in the monitored environment, interacts with this environment and communicates with the more powerful part of the measurement system, which for example is located in the cloud (or distributed between cloud, fog and edge). The combination of these two parts allows applications in areas such as environmental monitoring, smart grid, and smart city. Such applications handle very large amounts of data from different sources and by different owners. They need reliability and security, which together with another important feature of distributed systems - availability - make the development of such measurement systems not trivial.
