Chair for Operating Systems

The Operating System Group’s objective is to reduce complexity for computing systems. To this end, we research, develop, and use our own microkernel to componentise critical parts of systems. We try to push research and development far enough for our results to be usable by other research groups or as starting points for industrial partners.

Chair for Databases

In the era of Big Data, data management is one of the core pillars of modern enterprise scale information management systems. Within the Dresden Database Systems Group, we are addressing a rich bouquet of topics ranging from data refinement and statistical analytics to system-level optimizations in the context of main-memory database systems.

Das Foto zeigt hinter einer großen Fensterscheibe fünf Personen in weißen Laborkitteln. Vier Personen sitzen nebeneinander an Arbeitsplätzen mit dem Rücken zur Kamera. Eine Person im Vordergrund sitzt seitlich zur Kamera an einem langen Tisch.

Chair of Privacy and Security

We are working on all aspects of privacy, protecting the data of users from undue processing, transfering, and storing. In particular, we are active in the areas of network security, secure ICT systems, privacy-preserving data analysis, and surveillance prevention.

Chair for Computer Networks

Major areas of research and teaching include the internet of things, delay tolerant networks, energy efficient distributed architectures and technology enhanced learning. These topic areas are being pursued in various projects and are also subject of graduate level courses. Moreover, a general introduction to computer networks is part of our undergraduate curriculum.

Chair for Systems Engineering

The Systems Engineering Group's main research focus is on dependable systems. We follow a divide and conquer approach to address various kinds of faults and failures that can occur in computers and in distributed systems. We are designing and evaluating mechanisms to deal with individual fault types to facilitate developers to choose and match mechanisms depending on a system's dependability requirements.

The institute

The institute for systemarchitecture consists of the chairs for operating systems, databases, privacy and security, computer networks and systems engineering.
