NECSTLab (Novel, Emerging Computing System Technologies Laboratory) is a laboratory inside the DEIB department of Politecnico di Milano. Its research covers computing systems, from architectural characteristics and hardware-software codesign to security and dependability of complex architectures, scaling from mobile devices to large virtualized datacenters.

The lab's research lines are grouped into System Architecture, with projects such as DReAMS (FPGA-based systems), ORCA (computer architecture and operating systems) and STeEL, and System Security, with projects such as MaTA (malware and threat analysis), FraudSec, MoSec (mobile security) and CyPhy (cyber-physical systems security). Its audience is students, researchers and industry partners, and it organizes academic events and industrial events such as hackathons and corporate visits, with collaborations with industry.

The NECST Summer Workshop was first held in 2006. The NECST Group Conference is held yearly in San Francisco and the Silicon Valley area, and its tenth edition took place in 2019. The lab also runs NECST Group Conference-style events in Milan and a project called NECSTCamp on integrated personal health monitoring.
