The Mobile Systems Laboratory (MSL) is the research group of Associate Professor Octav Chipara in the Computer
Science Department at University of Iowa.
Our work brings together techniques from systems, networking, and software engineering to build reliable and
efficient
wearable IoT systems.
The core of our research involves the design of programming abstractions,
middleware services, and
communication protocols that require predictable performance.
The central theme of my work is that in order to harness the power of these systems, we must provide developers
with better tools to simplify
the development and analyze the performance of wearable IoT systems.
