Research Projects

Here you will find my current and past research projects.

PACC, private academic cloud.
Biometry, building smart solutions to make authentication and our life easier.
Fujaba and the book "Modeling with Objects" about it: Here I am mainly involved as a user and teacher.
F2F Computing: A breakthrough in spontaneous personal grid and social computing
cloudeco: Predictions of cloudsourcing costs.
inferato/amms: Advanced Message Management System (AMMS) – new ways to cope with your emails and messages.
inferato: Complex Search, Exploratory Search, Search-Logger, and more on graph enhanced exploratory search.
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.
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.

MoinMoin extensions: Extensions for and experience with the moinmoin wiki, which was once the base for this webpage.
