About

Sphinx, the mascot and logo of our lab, comes from “the Riddle of the Sphinx”: The Sphinx is said to have guarded the entrance to the Greek city of Thebes, asking a riddle to travelers to allow them passage: “Which creature has one voice and yet becomes four-footed and two-footed and three-footed?” She strangled and devoured anyone who could not answer. Oedipus solved the riddle by answering: “Man—who crawls on all fours as a baby, then walks on two feet as an adult, and then uses a walking stick in old age”. From our view, the key to designing an excellent cloud system is the experience of a man or a crowd. The answer to the riddle of the Sphinx is also the guideline for our research.
