Overview
The GLAsgow Systems Section (GLASS) researches parallel and distributed systems, networked systems, and (safety-critical) software systems. The section is currently led by Dr Jeremy Singer. We have a strong focus on real-world systems, and cover all scales and across the hardware-software spectrum. We contribute to, develop, and release open-source research software. There are several research groups and labs within the section:
- GPG: The Glasgow Parallelism Group (led by Phil Trinder)
- Glasgow Carbon-Conscious Computing Lab (led by Lauritz Thamsen)
- Glasgow Cyberdefence Lab (led by Dimitrios Pezaros)
- Glasgow Intelligent Computing Lab (led by José Cano Reyes)
- Glasgow Internet Protocols Lab (led by Colin Perkins)
- Glasgow Programming Language Implementation Lab (led by Jeremy Singer)
- Networked Systems Research Lab (Netlab) (led by Dimitrios Pezaros)
Much of the research we undertake is collaborative and has industrial partners. We work closely with other groups in Computing Science as well as other schools including Engineering. We also work closely with other world-leading Universities and many private and public sector organisations (recently: Airbus, Arm, Cisco Systems, EDF, Ericsson, IETF, Microsoft Research, NASA).
Members of GLASS contribute to several of the school's cross-cutting research themes including:
