Welcome
to the Laboratory for Advanced
Systems Research. The LASR Laboratory is located in the Computer
Science Department at the University of California,
Los
Angeles (UCLA).
Our research focus is on active networks, network security, operating
systems,
file systems, distributed systems, and systems support for mobile
computing
and wireless networks.
The
Laboratory's research programs
are
guided by:
Dr.
Peter Reiher, adjunct
professor at UCLA. Developer of system software for networks and
distributed environments for over twenty years, including naming
systems, replicated file systems, systems for secure collaboration
over insecure networks, systems for defense against network-level
attacks,
and ubiquitous computing systems..
