• Columbia University Network Computing Laboratory Research in experimental software systems to make personalized computing ubiquitously available, anytime and anywhere.
• Columbia University Distributed Computing and Communications Laboratory: This lab pursues experimental research of networked systems. Works to develop fundamental novel networking technologies and maximize their impact by exporting them to industry and academia.
• Distributed Computing Group The research interests of the group include: data structures and algorithms, distributed computing (e.g.: routing, file systems, and generally scalability and decentralization of data and algorithms), peer-to-peer computing, mobile computing, networking, ad-hoc networks, online algorithms and randomization.
• Distributed Systems Group - Technical University of Vienna The Distributed Systems Group in the Information Systems Institute of the Technical University of Vienna conducts teaching and research in distributed computing.
• Extreme! Computing Indiana University Computer Science high performance distributed computing and grid computing lab.
• The Panic Lab Homepage The focus of our group is on Pervasive, Available, No-futs, Internet Computing (PANIC). Information and an archive of collected papers.
• The Lee Center for Advanced Networking Research center at Caltech, supporting development of a global-scale wireless distributed computing system that connects people and appliances.
• MIT Parallel & Distributed Operating Systems Group This group's focus is to build and investigate software systems for parallel and distributed environments. They have conducted research in operating systems, networking, mobile computing, language design, compiler design, and architecture, taking a pragmatic approach: "we build high-performance, reliable, and working systems."
• SRI Secure Systems Research Research focus on authentication and secure collaboration in networked systems. Part of SRI International's Computer Science Laboratory.
• The Distributed Group - LSI Dept. University of Seville University of Seville research group with a focus on developing description languages and tools for dealing with the complexity of multiparty interactions in internet-based applications and e-business systems.
• University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory Systems Research Group is the largest research area in the Computer Laboratory covering hardware, communications hardware and software, operating systems and distributed systems.
• MIT Theory of Distributed Systems Group MIT's Theory of Distributed Systems (TDS) research group works on a wide range of problems involving distributed and real-time systems. The work has a theoretical flavor, but is closely tied to practice. Roughly speaking, the research can be classified into: Formal Modeling and Verification, Algorithms, Data Structures and Lower Bounds, and Applications.
• Advanced Computing for Science Seeks to allow scientists to address complex and large-scale computing and data analysis problems beyond what is possible today. The department is developing software components which will operate in a distributed environment.
