   abstract = {Recent developments in networking hardware and software-defined networking have
      enabled full distribution of network control to reduce control latency and
      increase reliability. However, both, hardware and software of current white-box
      networking hardware are highly heterogeneous, which limits the deployment and
      operation of switch-local control applications. Furthermore, switch-local
      control raises yet unconsidered security concerns. In this paper, we present
      our concept of in-forward-element processing, which leverages the open access
      to the control plane of white-box networking hardware to deploy control logic
      directly onto switches. We combine local control applications with lightweight
      virtualization to cope with networking hardware heterogeneity and to achieve
      required isolation properties and ease of management. Beyond distributed
      network control, we show this scheme is also beneficial for implementing
      switch-local virtual network functions (NFV), processing packets. Highlighting
      the practicability of the concepts, we provide an overview of the current
      white-box networking hardware and software landscape and their compatibility
      with lightweight virtualization technologies. To this end, we perform an
      empirical evaluation of NOS-virtualization combinations on such hardware and
      compare the results with respect to incurring virtualization overhead.},

   abstract = {Distributed Complex Event Processing (DCEP) is a paradigm to infer the
      occurrence of complex situations in the surrounding world from basic events
      like sensor readings. In doing so, DCEP operators detect event patterns on
      their incoming event streams. To yield high operator throughput, data
      parallelization frameworks divide the incoming event streams of an operator
      into overlapping windows that are processed in parallel by a number of operator
      instances. In doing so, the basic assumption is that the different windows can
      be processed independently from each other. However, consumption policies
      enforce that events can only be part of one pattern instance; then, they are
      consumed, i.e., removed from further pattern detection. That implies that the
      constituent events of a pattern instance detected in one window are excluded
      from all other windows as well, which breaks the data parallelism between
      different windows. In this paper, we tackle this problem by means of
      speculation: Based on the likelihood of an event's consumption in a window,
      subsequent windows may speculatively suppress that event. We propose the
      SPECTRE framework for speculative processing of multiple dependent windows in
      parallel. Our evaluations show an up to linear scalability of SPECTRE with the
      number of CPU cores.},

      Internet der Dinge (engl. IoT) immer mehr an Bedeutung. Im IoT werden
      technische Ger{\"a}te mit unterschiedlichen Sensoren ausgestattet und miteinander

      E-Health erm{\"o}glicht, in denen Sensordaten miteinander kombiniert und so in

   abstract = {Networked control systems (NCS) have attracted considerable attention in recent
      years. While the stabilizability and optimal control of NCS for a given
      communication system has already been studied extensively, the design of the
      communication system for NCS has recently seen an increase in more thorough
      investigation. In this paper, we address an optimal scheduling problem for a
      set of NCS sharing a dedicated communication channel, providing performance
      bounds and asymptotic stability. We derive a suboptimal scheduling policy with
      dynamic state-based priorities calculated at the sensors, which are then used
      for stateless priority queuing in the network, making it both scalable and
      efficient to implement on routers or multi-layer switches. These properties are
      beneficial towards leveraging existing IP networks for control, which will be a
      crucial factor for the proliferation of wide-area NCS applications. By allowing
      for an arbitrary number of concurrent transmissions, we are able to investigate
      the relationship between available bandwidth, transmission rate, and delay. To
      demonstrate the feasibility of our approach, we provide a proof-of-concept
      implementation of the priority scheduler using real networking hardware.},

   abstract = {Social sensing services use humans as sensor carriers, sensor operators and
      sensors themselves in order to provide situation-awareness to applications.
      This promises to provide a multitude of benefits to the users, for example in
      the management of natural disasters or in community empowerment. However,
      current social sensing services depend on Internet connectivity since the
      services are deployed on central Cloud platforms. In many circumstances,
      Internet connectivity is constrained, for instance when a natural disaster
      causes Internet outages or when people do not have Internet access due to
      economical reasons. In this paper, we propose the emerging Fog Computing
      infrastructure to become a key-enabler of social sensing services in situations
      of constrained Internet connectivity. To this end, we develop a generic
      architecture and API of Fog-enabled social sensing services. We exemplify the
      usage of the proposed social sensing architecture on a number of concrete use
      cases from two different scenarios.},

   abstract = {Emerging augmented reality devices allow for visualizing results of numerical
      simulations ubiquitously. This enables decision makers and engineers in the
      field to make better decisions. However, computation of resource-intensive
      simulation models on resource-poor and battery-powered mobile devices requires
      to drastically reduce the quality of the simulation. We therefore proposed
      approaches utilizing a remote server and the Reduced Basis Method (RBM) to
      generate a reduced model of the simulation.
      
      In our demo, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our approaches for mobile
      simulations. Our demo consists of two devices, a mobile device and a server.
      Both devices are connected via wireless network. The mobile device visualizes
      the result of a complex computation. Parameters of the simulation are effected
      by sensors of the mobile device. The user can choose between computing on the
      mobile device, computing solely on the server, or computing using our approach.},

   abstract = {Currently, various hardware and software companies are developing augmented
      reality devices, most prominently Microsoft with its Hololens. Besides gaming,
      such devices can be used for serious pervasive applications, like interactive
      mobile simulations to support engineers in the field. Interactive simulations
      have high demands on resources, which the mobile device alone is unable to
      satisfy. Therefore, we propose a framework to support mobile simulations by
      distributing the computation between mobile device and a remote server. For the
      computation of parameter-dependent solutions of the simulation, we use the
      reduced basis method, which allows to drastically reduce the computation time
      and energy consumption. We present three approaches for the distributed
      execution of the reduced basis method between mobile device and server.
      Evaluations show that we can speed-up the numerical computation to over 131
      times while using 73 times less energy compared to offloading everything to a
      server.},
