AST Research Group

Our research group merges a multidisciplinar team which tackles key investigation lines of telematic services. We mainly work in distributed systems where we have experience in scalable systems (cloud computing, peer-to-peer), web-based infrastructures and mobile and wireless communications. In this field the group is very active and has participated in european and national research projects.

Mission and Objectives

The AST Research Group concentrates on the modeling, the design, the implementation, and the analysis of parallel and distributed systems and algorithms (P2P, Cloud, MANETs, etc.). Our research includes building prototypes of systems to demonstrate the quality of the proposed solutions.

The University

The URV was created in 1991 by the Parliament of Catalonia from the already existing university faculties and schools. From the very first day its aim has been very clear: to place knowledge at the service of society so as to contribute to the social and economic development of its environment, which has gradually transformed over time.
