CCS Labs started its work at Paderborn Univerity in April 2014 as the Endowed Chair for Distributed Embedded Systems supported by dSPACE GmbH. The group is coordinated by Falko Dressler. Before moving to Paderborn, we have been working since May 2011 at the University of Innsbruck. The acronym CCS stands for Computer and Communication Systems, indicating our main research interest. Since 2016, we are also member of the Heinz Nixdorf Institute.
Our research objectives include adaptive wireless networking, self-organization techniques, and embedded system design with applications in ad hoc and sensor networks, internet of things, vehicle-to-X networks, industry automation, cyber physical systems, industry 4.0, and nano-networking.
