|
| Abstract | The thesis investigates the improvement of current deployment strategies. We propose a mechanism that learns the behavior of the system within a Kubernetes Cluster by monitoring the system as well as user requests. We propose an intelligent deployment mechanism that can predict the best possible deployment strategy to optimize resource usage. We plan to visualize the relationships within the services of the cluster and the predictions made by the tool. |

Swift Based Web Development with WebAssembly

|
| Abstract | WebAssembly is a new abstract instruction set primarily designed to target web browsers from higher level programming languages. To enable full stack web development in Swift, the Swift compiler should support targeting WebAssembly. This thesis will try to extend the Swift compiler to support WebAssembly and to compile the Swift Standard Library. Furthermore, the interaction with a web browser’s JavaScript API and the Document Object Model should be possible from Swift. Finally, the results will be evaluated by building a web application in Swift, including the client side code that runs in the browser. |

Grebe - A gRPC Swift Framework

|
| Abstract | The goal of this thesis is to develop a tool that simplifies the client-side developing workflow when using a gRPC based networking stack. We propose encapsulating networking logic in a separate Swift package and extending it for the use with commonly used frameworks such as Combine. We plan to build this abstraction layer above the SwiftNIO based grpc-swift framework. We plan to combine this abstraction layer with a CI-based code generation workflow to simplify the development process when syncing client and server codebases. |

|
| Abstract | This thesis explores new ways to easily integrate gRPC in server-side Swift applications using code generation and extending existing frameworks. It builds on top of the swift-protobuf and grpc-swift frameworks that provide the core functionality to use gRPC in Swift. The goal of the thesis is to offer a simple workflow to connect a gRPC based networking stack to higher-level server-side Swift frameworks like Vapor and ORMs like Fluent. |

| Abstract | This thesis focuses on the simplification of connecting application logic to a RESTful server endpoint. We want to explore the advantages of a declarative approach when designing a networking layer by taking advantage of modern Swift features like function builders and property wrappers. We want to provide a lightweight, expressive syntax for the communication with a RESTful service that can be used to connect the service with the user interface of an application. |

A Framework to Build and Maintain GraphQL Client-Server Architectures in Swift

|
| Abstract | This thesis attempts to address the issue of synchronizing the networking stack of client-server codebases by providing a full solution to write a client-server architecture using GraphQL in Swift. We want to provide a clean and readable declarative API for creating a GraphQL Server and a similar API for the client, as well as tools to ensure that these codebases continue being in sync. We plan to achieve the synchronization by autogenerating client code from the GraphQL schema, and updating the client automatically when the server changes. |

| Abstract | This thesis introduces Li.Co.Re, a new and improved version of a Swift lint bot for automated reviews for pull requests in large scale student courses. During the thesis, we will collect user feedback, recent research, and experiences from the prototype to build a robust and extended application that should be useable across various distributed version control and source code management services. |

WebUI - A Declarative User Interface Framework for Web Apps in Swift

November 15, 2019
|
| Abstract | This thesis details the development of a web-based user interface framework for the Swift programming language. The proposed framework can be used to deploy a Swift application to a server that serves a lean JavaScript application. The proposed framework should let a developer define a user interface using the SwiftUI syntax. The server should use a WebSocket based connection to update the server on user input and update the website based on server-side changes. |
