About me

I studied Computer Science at the Technical University of Ilmenau with major focus on complexity theory, databases and data streams. After my graduation i got experienced in the field of industrial web development and consulting and the design and implementation of databases. In September 2009 I joined the Knowledge and Data Engineering team. Currently I am working on the Venus project.

Research Interests

I am interested in the following topics of research:

• Diffusion
• Recommendation Systems
• Semantic web
• Community analysis
• Data Mining Methods in general

  Exploiting social links is an important issue for enhancing ubiquitous knowledge engineering because they are a substitute for a wide range of properties depending on which relation spans the link: in case of human face-to-face contacts, similar locations or potential knowledge transfer for the people in contact can be derived. This information can be used to improve the quality of ubiquitous services as localization or recommendation systems. We capture this information by deploying active RFID setups at a variety of contexts. In this chapter, we focus especially on working groups and conferences and discuss and evaluate the achieved improvements using the gathered data.

  The connection of ubiquitous and social computing is an emerging research area which is combining two prominent areas of computer science. In this paper, we tackle this topic from different angles: We describe data mining methods for ubiquitous and social data, specifically focusing on physical and social activities, and provide exemplary analysis results. Furthermore, we give an overview on the Ubicon platform which provides a framework for the creation and hosting of ubiquitous and social applications for diverse tasks and projects. Ubicon features the collection and analysis of both physical and social activities of users for enabling inter-connected applications in ubiquitous and social contexts. We summarize three real-world systems built on top of Ubicon, and exemplarily discuss the according mining and analysis aspects.

  Die vorliegende Studienarbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Artikel "Separating NC along the \delta axis" von Bellantoni und Oitavem (ENTCS 2003). Darin wird ein Termsystem N* über Binärbäumen mit Blattspeicherung, angereichert um Konstanten für Baumrekursion, vorgestellt und im Stile Bellantoni/Niggl ein Maß \rho auf N* erklärt. Das System N besteht dann aus genau den geschlossenen N*-Termen mit \rho-Maß kleiner order gleich 1. Nach sorgfältiger Ausarbeitung der in der Arbeit dargestellten Ideen und Konstruktionen für den Beweis der Vollständigkeit des Systems N, daß nämlich jede NC-Funktion in System N definiert (berechnet) werden kann, kommt diese Studienarbeit zu dem Schluß, daß Vollständigkeit als zentrale Inklusion in der Charakterisierung von NC durch N so wie vorgestellt nicht gehalten werden kann.
