JUST Information and Communication Engineering
Research Group (JUSTICE RG)

This research group focuses on data communication within wireless environments. As wireless technologies become more pervasive, ad hoc and wireless sensor networks frequently provide context for our research. We explore many aspects of networking that include:

Analysis and improvement of existing protocols ·
Development of new high-performance protocols, and prototype systems
Design of network architectures

We use a variety of techniques in our exploration of networks. Our primary research tool is simulation that is fine-grained, event-driven, In addition to simulations; we make use of analytical techniques which often result in linear algebra problems of significant magnitude and complexity. We also investigate and apply some modern AI tools and techniques to solve some of the optimization problems in the wireless domain. We are in the process of expanding our research activities towards prototyping proof-of-concept systems and we now acquiring a collection of wireless sensor nodes to be deployed in various environments.

We focus our attention on the following optimization problems in the wireless networks (such as sensor, ad-hoc and cellular):

Resource Allocation
Routing
Scheduling
Call Admission Control
Security
Back-off Interval Estimation

The group is established in the computer science department at Jordan University of Science and Technology since 2009.
