The CSG’s key mission is to establish excellent research in communications, addressing communication mechanisms for charging, accounting, mobility, and security, while considering Telecommunication economics, network and service management, and highly-decentralized systems as major pillars of today’s and tomorrow’s communications in the Internet. Secondly, the CSG is committed to provide a basic, but comprehensive and up-to-date teaching curriculum on networks and communications for Bachelor and Master students, partly in conjunctionwithother researchgroups at the IfI.
