About

The CoRE – Communication over Real-time Ethernet – research group works on communication solutions for time-critical applications using the Ethernet tech­nology.

Real-time extensions for standard switched Ethernet have widen the realm of computer networks to safety-critical applications. Since summer 2008 the CoRE group has been working on Ethernet-based network technologies for applications in harsh real-time environments, such as vehicles and planes.

Prof. Dr. Franz Korf and Prof. Dr. Thomas C. Schmidt have founded the group together with Till Steinbach. Prof. Dr. Franz Korf has a wide competence base concerning real-time environments, whereas Prof. Dr. Thomas C. Schmidt is an expert on future networks and Internet technologies. This widely spread knowledge base is the groundwork of prosperous research.

Main topics are:

• Security for vehicular information
• In-car real-time Ethernet backbone
• Simulation of real-time Ethernet networks
