Ongoing Topics

Topic Topic advisor Initial readings Description Student
Implementation of Location Information Server (Under key competency module) Mayutan Arumaithurai [1], [2] Though, the Internet and communication means have advanced, Emergency calls (i.e. 112) can only be performed by traditional phone calls. Emergency service providers cannot handle VoIP, text and video messages. Handling such messages will allow emergency service providers to scale and thereby handle large scale emergency. This task will involve implementing a lIS server to identify the location of a VOIP client. Assigned to Vijay Soppadandi
Real time analysis to predict the future of companies (Under key competency module) Mayutan Arumaithurai Spark, Twitter Storm This project will perform a study of stream processing tools and methods and analyse their accuracy in predicting the future based on past data Assigned to Karthik Sharma ‎
Real time analysis to study the accuracy of gene matching (Under key competency module) Mayutan Arumaithurai Spark, Twitter Storm This project will perform a study of stream processing tools and methods to analyse the speed and accuracy of predicting if a certain gene pattern matches existing gene patterns in the data base. Assigned to Uche Oteh ‎
Analyze the effect of ICN on energy saving (ITIS Research Project) Mayutan Arumaithurai ICN Analyze the benefits of ICN in terms of energy saving potential Assigned to Alberto Rivera Diaz
How can ICN help DTN? (Master thesis Project) Edo Monticelli,Mayutan Arumaithurai ICN, DTN Improve ICN to better support DTN environments Assigned to Benno
Personalized Recommender System Design (Master thesis Project) Hong Huang Build a personalized context-aware recommender system for customers according to their own interest. Assigned to Haile Misgna
Emotion Patterns Analysis in OSNs (Bachelor thesis Project) Hong Huang,Xu Chen We aim to study the emotion patterns in the Twitter service and predict the future emotion status of users. Assigned to Stefan Peters
