+# 🧩 SimulaMet — Holistic Systems Department (HOST)
+
+Welcome to **SimulaMet-HOST** on [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/SimulaMet-HOST)!
+
+The **Holistic Systems (HOST)** department at **Simula Metropolitan Center for Digital Engineering (SimulaMet)** conducts research on **communication systems, distributed computing, privacy, cybersecurity, and AI-driven network intelligence**.  
+Our mission is to design and analyze digital infrastructures that are **efficient, robust, privacy-preserving, and sustainable** — addressing challenges that arise from the interaction between users, applications, and networks.
+
+🔍 **Our core research areas include:**
+- **Communication Systems and Network Performance** — measuring, analyzing, and improving real-world Internet and 5G/6G systems  
+- **Distributed Systems and Cloud Computing** — optimizing resource management and reliability at scale  
+- **Privacy, Trust, and Security** — developing privacy-preserving technologies and secure communication frameworks  
+- **Machine Learning for Networks** — applying AI to optimize, monitor, and predict system behavior  
+- **Sustainable ICT** — reducing the environmental footprint of digital infrastructure
+
+We are committed to **open science** and actively publish **open-source datasets, models, and analysis tools** to foster transparency and reproducibility.
