Welcome to the NDSG web

What is NDSG?

The Network Design and Simulation Group (NDSG) is a research group based within the Department of Engineering Science at The University of Auckland. Our public web site www.ndsg.net.nz contains more information about us, but this is our research "intraweb" and is used for coordinating and documenting our research activities as well as a collaborative tool.

NDSG Research

NDSG perform research in several areas involving network design and simulation:

• Optimisation Software
  • Dippy - a simplified interface for advanced mixed-integer linear programming
  • Spatially Adaptive Local Smoothing Algorithm
  • Embedding GPUs within Dippy
  • Experiments with Symphony on a Shared Memory Machine
• Data Storage
  • Storage Systems/Cloud Storage Design
  • Storage Systems/Cloud Storage Simulation
  • Green Storage Systems/Cloud Storage
  • Experimental Storage Systems/Cloud Storage
• Telecommunications Networks
  • Protecting Telecommunications Networks
• Transportation
  • Traffic Intersection Simulation
  • Traffic Systems Simulation
• Cellular Structure
  • Spatial Statistics of Cellular Structure
  • Cellular Network Simulation

NDSG have also been utilising optimisation and simulation in applications without underlying networks:

• Health Delivery Services
  • Simulating workloads in the Cytology Department at LabPLUS
  • Simulating patient flow in Student Health
  • Building experimental rosters for General Medicine registrars
  • Simulating performance of orderlies at Auckland Hospital
