Success Stories

It is our motto to closely combine research, development, and teaching. This means in practice that lectures and projects do not end with an exam and should result in more than a grade. Conference papers, public presentations or awards regularly result from our teaching activities. We therefore decided to list such results as success stories here, as we strongly believe that this motivates new students to participate in our projects and lectures. We also include awards received by our staff members as they belong to the team as our students do.

The start-up process is supervised by Juniorprofessor Dr. Hagen Höpfner. 
• Andreas Thenn's paper on "Temporale Aspekte beim inhaltsbasierten Cachen von mobilen Medienobjekten" (using temporal aspects for content bases caching of mobile media objects) has been selected for a presentation at the 6th student workshop that took place in conjunction with the 14th conference on business, technology, and web (BTW 2011) in Kaiserslautern, Germany on March 1st, 2011. The presented work is part of the master thesis Andreas was working on in our group.
