On Monday, January 26, 2026, the inaugural lectures of Prof. Dr. Michael Seufert (Chair of Networked Systems and Communication Networks) and Prof. Dr. Jakob Kottmann (Chair of Quantum Algorithmics) took place in a joint event.

We are delighted to welcome Thomas B?hme as a new research assistant at our chair as of today. We look forward to working with him and wish him all the best for a successful start!

We are pleased to announce that our chair has officially joined the SLICES-DE community, Germany’s contribution to SLICES-RI, the Scientific Large-Scale Infrastructure for Computing and Communication Experimental Studies.

Our article entitled “Modeling Network Load of Mobile Instant Messaging: A Modular Source Traffic Generator,” written by our chair in collaboration with researchers from the University of Würzburg, was recently accepted for publication in the IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management journal.

A research team from the University of Augsburg presented a paper at the 18th Junior Researcher Workshop on Real-Time Computing (JRWRTC 2025), held 5–7 November 2025 in Pisa, Italy, outlining a research roadmap for reliable and time-critical communication in the Internet of Things.

We are delighted to welcome Felix Heptner as a new research assistant at our chair as of today. We look forward to working with him and wish him all the best for a successful start!

We are happy to announce that Katharina Dietz received the Best Student Paper Award at the 21st International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM 2025), held from October 27 to October 31, 2025, in Bologna, Italy.

We are happy to share that Filip Simonovski received the Best Oral Presentation Award at the 17th International Conference on Quality of Multimedia Experience (QoMEX 2025), held from September 30 to October 3, 2025, in Madrid, Spain.

At the 17th International Conference on Quality of Multimedia Experience (QoMEX 2025), held from September 30 to October 3 in Madrid, we were represented with two papers, both collaborations between our chair and colleagues from the University of Würzburg.

On Thursday, September 25, we went on our joint Oktoberfest trip with the Chair of Quantum Algorithms, led by Prof. Dr. Jakob Kottmann.

For the fifth consecutive year, Prof. Dr. Michael Seufert has been included in the prestigious Stanford/Elsevier Top 2% Scientists list. Prof. Seufert's repeated listing underscores the outstanding research conducted in his field and impressively demonstrates the international recognition and relevance of his scientific work.

The Third International Workshop on Machine Learning in Networking?was a successful half day event held at Technical University of Ilmenau on September 1, 2025, where it was co-located with the Conference on Networked Systems (NetSys 2025).?We would like to thank all the authors, reviewers, and attendants for their precious contributions towards the successful organization of the workshop!
