About us

MTA-BME Network Softwarization Research Group hosted by Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) was established in 2017 in order to foster theoretical and applied research on network softwarization. It is jointly funded by MTA from the academia and by Ericsson from the industry. The research team is mainly from the High-Speed Networks Laboratory (HSNLab) of the Department of Telecommunications and Media Informatics from BME. Ericsson is the strategic partner of the research group and we have been working in a tight cooperation. The main research areas of the group are the following: software defined networking, network function virtualization, cloud/edge computing, data center architectures and algorithms, techno-economics of ICT systems, market mechanisms, the design of emerging systems such as big data analytics systems, novel AR/VR/MR applications and services.
