Networked Media (NWMED) is a research group within the Department of Telecommunications, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (FER), University of Zagreb.

The research goal of the NWMED group is to gain deeper comprehension of the quality of service (QoS) requirements for advanced and interactive multimedia services such as networked virtual environments, and complex relationships between the application-level and network-level QoS. The focus is on application/session level control signalling, negotiation, and adaptation of QoS for media-rich services in the heterogeneous all-IP environment of the converged 3rd generation network and beyond.

The NWMED team members are involved in the national research project "Content Delivery and Mobility of Users and Services in New Generation Networks" (project no. 036-0362027-1639) funded by the Ministry of Science Education and Sports of the Republic of Croatia, led by professor Matijašević. They also collaborate with the Ericsson Nikola Tesla company in Zagreb, in the research project "Policy Based Resource Control for Complex IP Networks".

The NWMED group participates in European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) actions IC0703  “Data Traffic Monitoring and Analysis (TMA): theory, techniques, tools and applications for the future networks” , and IC0906 Wireless Networking for Moving Objects (WiNEMO), and Europen Network on Quality of Experience in Multimedia Systems and Services (QUALINET).

The NWMED group currently consists of five PhD students directed by professor Maja Matijasevic, assistant professor Lea Skorin-Kapov, and postdoctoral researcher Ognjen Dobrijevic. The group uses the computer and networking resources in the Dept. of Telecommunications, as well as virtual reality equipment, shared with the HOTLab group; and various platforms and open-source, commercial, and in-house developed software and tools supporting the reconfigurable laboratory network test-bed.
