The aims

The proposed project will address the design of efficient and application oriented communication subsystems over high speed networks. The main objectives can be specified as follows:

1. The design of an architecture for integrated design of communication protocols. Based on the knowledge available from integration techniques for communication protocols, techniques for grouping protocol functions in order to meet specific application requirements will be proposed.
2. The definition/selection of a specification language to describe the application requirements.
3. The design and implementation of an efficient runtime system (execution environment) for the code generated by the compiler, which exploits multiprocessor systems.
4. The design and implementation of a compiler to automatically generate the customized communication subsystem based on integrated protocol modules.
5. The building of prototype integrated implementation of communication protocols for test applications.
