    Abstract When choosing a protocol, server-side developers have many options available, ranging from building a JSON based API, to a RESTful Service, to a GraphQL API or using gRPC. The chosen protoccol will, in practice, shape the structure of a server’s implementation. Schmiedmayer proposes Apodini [Sch20], an internal domain-specific language that focuses on describing a server’s implementation declaratively and independently from the protocol. In this guided research we want to explore the feasibility and nuances of the Apodini internal domain-specific for different programming languages such as Swift and Kotlin.

    Abstract Ever-increasing complexity in micro-service architectures requires scaling and deployment of services according to current usage information and resource availability. In order to ensure the availability of a distributed server application, it is crucial to provide a maintainer of a micro-service application wide-reaching monitoring capabilities custom fit to its specific use case. We propose to develop a framework to provide tracing information about a server application and visualizing it on a client device using dynamic UI generation.

  • Machine learning with wearable sensors

    My field of research is on machine learning with wearable sensors. One possible application is monitoring of athletes (e.g. counting the amount of repetitions of each exercise, measuring exercise performance), another is monitoring animals (activity recognition for animal: eating, walking, resting). If you have access to a specific animal or perform a specific sport and want to automatically extract context information, we could work on it together. Feel free to contact me with your idea.

    Abstract Web services need to continuously adapt to an ever-changing environment. Therefore, over time, web services evolve. A particular part of web service evolution is Web API evolution, concerning any evolutionary steps happening on the level of a particular API type. Web APIs can be classified into three types: remote procedure calls, message-based and resource-based. In the proposed guided research, we want to investigate differences in the propagation of changes in the individual API types. We will instantiate our approach using Apodini, a domain-specific language to write web services in an abstract and generalized manner that is independent of the concrete instantiation of an API type. Our findings are integrated into ApodiniMigrator, a tool-suite for automated, machine-readable migration guides. The system is validated using replications of common web APIs and applying real-world evolutionary steps from the past to assess the system’s capabilities.

    Remote patient monitoring systems (RPMS) can increase the operational safety in dangerous environments, for example for military personnel during combat. Typically, such systems collect health values of the personnel via sensors. They provide a medical advisor with a user interface (UI) for monitoring these health values. This medical advisor UI aims at facilitating the detection of potentially injured personnel and accelerating their medical treatment. CHEST 2.0 is such a RPMS...

    Remote Patient Monitoring Systems (RPMSs) connect medical professionals with patients to provide medical services. RPMSs comprise hardware and software components. Hardware components, such as Smart Textiles, wearables, and sensors, transmit vital parameters of patients. Software components, such as the User Interface (UI), often lack usability. The UI should depict these parameters in a medically oriented way to support decision-making of professionals. We focus on RPMSs that humans use for working...

    Humans are an essential part of the area of logistics. They are responsible for managing the warehouse inventory and need to commission products and materials. Supporting them during theses processes is one of the goals of the industry 4.0 movement. Commissioning materials and goods typically follows a workflow that includes identifying, counting and locating materials in inventories. To keep the inventory up-to-date a number of materials...
