Research

My current research topic is mobile computing, especially location-based services:
  • location-awareness in distributed systems, evaluation of distribution architectures, tailored architectures;
  • consistency of location data in distributed environments;
  • dealing with heterogeneity of position measuring;
  • development of location-based services, integrating location-based services into existing infrastructures;
  • platform support to develop mobile and ubiquitous applications;
  • communication issues of non-traditional computers, middleware platforms, ad-hoc networking;
  • security issues of mobile, location-aware applications.
