MISSION
|
The assumptions that existed in wireless networking some 15 years ago have changed. The powerful end-user devices that can fit in our pockets instigate us to think about the new approaches in wireless network design, with information propagation without a need for a real network backbone and with only limited infrastructure that would serve as a bridge to the existing legacy networks.
My research focuses on the modeling of information dissemination in Delay Tolerant Networks and design and performance evaluation of delay-tolerant services that leverage the opportunistic manner of communication and provide more natural and cost-effective way of information propagation.

BIOGRAPHY
|
I graduated from the School of Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade, Serbia in 2006 as the top graduate of the Department of Telecommunications. Since September 2007 I have been working towards a PhD in the Laboratory for Computer Communications and Applications under the supervision of Professor Jean-Yves Le Boudec. Prior to joining the School of Computer and Communication Sciences at EPFL I worked for Telenor Serbia, in the Core Network and Services Planning Department.

RESEARCH PROJECT
|
Haggle - A European Union funded project in Situated and Autonomic Communications
Haggle is a networking project that moves away from end-to-end communication concepts such as end-to-end feedback or acknowledgments for received packets. The focus is on mobile networks with intermittent connectivity, that is, paths to destinations might not exist when the source decides to send data. As a consequence, data will be stored in the network, and moved around by the nodes storing the data, until good opportunities for further forwarding appear.
