Abstract: The Systems Architecture Group is engaged in numerous projects: Berlin Roof Net, Anonymous Reputation Management for Social Network Services, and Early Warning Systems for Seismic Activities. Each of these projects requires intensive research to make progress. In this project seminar, we will identify specific problems for each project, review prior art literature, discuss our findings, and regularly report about progress made on each issue. In addition to acquiring knowledge about the technologies that are relevant for each project, seminar participants will get hands-on experience with research techniques, including literature study, project planning, and result presentation / publication.
