My research is mainly focused on distributed
interactive applications, i.e., applications that allow multiple
users to interact via the Internet independently of location and
time. Important examples for such applications are shared
whiteboards, distributed virtual environments, groupware systems,
workspaces, software development tools for teams, and network
computer games. These applications often have a replicated
architecture which makes their development challenging: Each user
runs a complete instance of the application so that all
application data is replicated. Changes in that data then need to
be distributed to all participating sites such that the local
data copies are kept consistent. Besides these technical issues,
the collaborative process among users needs to be supported.
More specifically, I am
interested in
- Consistency control algorithms for keeping local
copies of replicated data consistent.
- Late join algorithms to initialize new session members
with the current shared state.
- Mechanisms that increase the awareness among
participants and that support multi-user
collaboration.
- Applications that allow interleaved synchronous and
asynchronous collaboration.
- Realization of algorithms such that they are reusable
for different applications.
- Application-level protocols for the transport of
data.
- Protocols for efficient group communication, i.e.,
application-level and IP multicast.
- Overlay networks and peer-to-peer systems.
- Simulation analysis of network protocols and
algorithms.
- User interfaces and the impact of the aforementioned
mechanisms on the user.

Lebenslauf |
|
I studied Computer Science and Business
Administration at the University of Mannheim from 1994 till 1999.
From 1997 till 1999, I was also a research assistant for the
Department of "Praktische Informatik IV" where I developed
features for the digital lecture board (
dlb). My Master's Thesis
on "Entwurf und Implementierung eines generischen Late Join
Algorithmus für interaktive Medien" was advised by Martin Mauve.
In 1999, I graduated as M.S. with honors and ranked first in
class.
Since 2000, I am a research associate at the Department
of "Praktische Informatik IV". In 2004, I completed my PhD. The
title of my thesis is "Consistency Algorithms and Protocols for
Distributed Interactive Applications". Besides my research
projects (see below), I am responsible for instructing graduate
students, mainly in classes on computer networks.
In summer 2002, I spent 3 month at IBM Research in
Cambridge, MA, and worked on consistency algorithms for a novel
peer-to-peer application, Instant Collaboration (see below for a
short description).
Detailed CV
Since December 2004, I am a Research Staff Member at the
European Media Lab in Heidelberg (
EML). To contact me, please mail to
