Welcome ...
... to the webpages of the Distributed Systems Group at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Marburg, Germany.Our research interests are twofold. First, we do research in the fields of Parallel and Distributed Systems, Computer & Network Security, and High Performance Computing. Second, we focus on compute- and data-intensive applications in the fields of Image Processing, Multimedia Computing, and Bioinformatics. In particular, current subjects of our work are:
Infrastructure-oriented Research:
- Cloud Computing Infrastructures
- Secure Virtualized Computing Platforms
- GPU-based High Performance Computing
- Grid and Peer-to-Peer Computing Middleware
- Scientific Workflow Systems
- Energy-aware Data Processing
- Mobile Application Security
Application-oriented Research:
- Image and Video Search Engines
- Concept Detection in Images and Videos
- Semantic Search in Multimedia Data
- Content-based Image and Video Retrieval
- Biomedical Image Processing
- Biocomputing Algorithms
