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..
