The Large-scale Network Analytics (LNA) Lab  focuses on conducting fundamental research to tackle challenging problems in network analytics and explore future directions in the processing and analysis of large-scale networks.  The group also aims to establish theoretical foundations for handling large-scale, highly dynamic and complex networks using parallel, distributed, external, and other cloud computing technologies.
