 * LASS GROUP FALL 2023

 * UNVEILING OF THE MASS-NZ SOLAR POWERED DATACENTER

 * HOLYOKE GAS & ENERGY COLLABORATION - SMART GRID AND RENEWABLES



The Laboratory for Advanced System Software (LASS) investigates systems issues
for distributed systems ranging from large server clusters to networks of small
sensors. Our past and current research has focused on issues in operating
systems, distributed systems, networking, mobile systems, web and multimedia. We
build prototype systems and understand them using analysis and experimentation.


RESEARCH AREAS

Our lab comprises of two research groups: distributed systems group and
sustainable computing group.

Distributed Systems research

The distributed systems research group focuses on topics in cloud computing,
edge computing, data centers, virtualization and data management. Ongoing
projects include:

 * Cloud and Edge Research: Serverless computing, Edge AI, and Model-driven
   resource management
 * Internet of Things (IoT) Research: Sensing, privacy and scale in Pervasive
   IoT
 * Non-intrusive Mobile Sensing with applications to health and well-being


Sustainable Computing research

The Sustainable Computing research group focuses on computational methods for
sustainability and decarbonization of engineered systems and infrastructure. We
apply our research to energy grids, built environment, renewables and energy
storage, and transportation. We take a systems and data analytics approach to
addressing problems in this area. Ongoing projects include:

 * CarbonFirst: Making cloud and edge computing sustainable
 * Decarbonizing Energy Grids and the Built Environment
 * Sustainable transportation: Electric vehicles and ride sharing

LASS Alumni: Our Alums are an exceptionally accomplished group. Two-thirds of
our Ph.D. and Post-doc alums have gone to tenure-track faculty positions in
academia. Four alums have co-founded startup companies. The rest, including two
dozen MS alums, have gone on to successful careers in industry. We are
incredibly proud of their accomplishments.
