Research Projects

Here you will find my current and past research projects.

Ongoing projects:

F2F Computing: A breakthrough in spontaneous personal grid and social computing
Fujaba and the book "Modeling with Objects" about it: Here I am mainly involved as a user and teacher.
cloudeco: Predictions of cloudsourcing costs.
inferato/amms: Advanced Message Management System (AMMS) - new ways to cope with your emails and messages.
inferato: Vertical search coming to life! A first application of KangurOS.
PS3 Computing: Everything we do on our new ps3 computing engine
Active Learning: Gaming and Simulation (ALGS): In this project, we develop a game to facilitate team building and communications skills for the students of Computer Science at the University of Tartu.
KangurOS: Maybe this will once be the core of new operating systems. Its concepts for data storage and retrieval are very different and should supersede current techniques.
elsim: A little visual elevator simulation, which can be controlled via a network socket. A nice tool, if you want students to develop a elevator control.
ComponentConfigurator (former called eHomeConfigurator): A new way of generative component based programming.
MoinMoin extensions: Extensions for and experience with the moinmoin wiki, which is the base for this webpage.
JPunch: Java UDP Hole Punching Library
/emailconcentrator: A framework for harvesting emails and making them available in other formats.

Be aware, they could be activated at any time again.

Bright brains in informatics: Still in Aachen, I set up a course for gifted elementary school students to get involved in the beautiful world of informatics.
PhD on Configuring eHomeSystems
Diplomarbeit (comparable to master thesis): Erweiterung von Haskell um portbasierte Kommunikation zur verteilten Programmierung (eng.: Port-Based distributed Haskell)
McMinos, the Computer Game, Andreas Neudecker and I wrote, go and test it!
Kmail maildir format to classic maildir format and vice versa: Nice, if you use kmail a lot, but want to test some local imap based stuff at the same moment.
Mobile Desktop: Tips and tricks around your notebook in linux.
