    2. NETMODE research interests and areas of expertise focus on modelling, optimization and design of heterogeneous networks that are based on evolving Future Internet technologies, emphasizing on: optimization and resource allocation, Internet-of-Things, cloud computing, autonomic network management, software-defined networks, network virtualization, data analytics, and performance evaluation of stochastic systems. NETMODE staff consists of two Professors, five full-time/Post-Doc researchers and more than twenty Ph.D. students. Its key personnel have extensive academic, research and industrial experience, have been actively involved in several RTD programs sponsored by Greek and European organizations, while have held several administrative positions in research and development centers and laboratories. NETMODE members have extensive experience in Future Internet Research Experimentation and have deployed a Future Internet Testbed http://www.netmode.ntua.gr/testbed). Major/key relevant technologies have been developed in the context of past and ongoing R&D projects under several EU-funded and national activities (e.g. 5G-HEART, Fed4FIREplus, Fed4FIRE, EFIPSANS, PRODUCER, MESON, IOT2EDGE, HELNET, COSMOS, FAN-of-NUM, etc.), while several of them have been applied and validated in realistic federated testbed environments (i.e. RAWFIE, ORCA, 5GinFIRE. MONROE).
