In the last decade, cellular networks are undergoing with a radical change in their basic design foundations. The huge increase in traffic demand requires a novel design of future cellular networks.

Mixing time is a global property of a network that indicates how fast a random walk gains independence from its starting point. Mixing time is an essential parameter for many distributed algorithms, but especially those based on gossip.

El 6 de Noviembre de 2015 el Instituto IMDEA Materiales será el anfitrión de la I Conferencia IMDEA, Ciencia, Empresa y Sociedad, inaugurada por la presidenta de la Comunidad de Madrid, Dª Cristina Cifuentes y por la Secretaria de Estado de Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación, Dª Carmen Vela.

Technology now offers the possibility of delivering a vast range of low-cost people-centric services to citizens. Internet of Things (IoT) supporting technologies are becoming robust, viable and cheaper.

Several challenges persist in what concerns wireless sensor networks, the Internet of Things, and the use of these technologies in human-centric environments.

Programmable networks or Software Defined Networking (SDN) offers new opportunities to manage computer networks: Make networks smart, introduce new service faster.

¿Qué tal «se llevan» la ciencia y el cine? ¿Es cierto que, muchas veces, la realidad supera a la ficción?

In this thesis, signal propagation variations that are experience over the frequency resources of IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) are studied.

Modern wearable devices allow monitoring vital parameters such as heart or respiratory rates, electrocardiogram, photo-plethysmographic or even video signals, and are being massively commercialized in the consumer electronics market.

The availability of data on digital traces is growing to unprecedented sizes, but inferring actionable knowledge from large-scale data is far from being trivial.
