Lecturer: Dr. Marcus Handte, Exercises: Dr. Marcus Handte
This lecture at the Master level covers the fundamentals of past and recent pervasive computing research with a specific focus on the following four areas:
- System-support and programming abstractions for adaptive distributed applications
- Recognition, modelling and management aspects of contextual information
- Novel user interface examples and guidelines for pervasive computing applications
Students participating in this course should have at least basic knowledge in the areas of networking and database technology. Knowledge in machine learning and human-computer-interaction could be beneficial but is not mandatory.
The practical exercises will focus system-support for adaptive distributed applications. As part of the exercises, students will be developing a communication middleware for spontaneously networked devices using an object-oriented programming language such as Java or C#.
Place and Time:
- Lecture: Wednesdays (starting in the first week of the lecture period), from 14:00h to 16:00h in SA 215
- Exercises: Tuesdays (starting in the second week of the lecture period), from 10:00h to 12:00h in SE 407

This project group covers fundamental concepts related to the development of location-based services in theory and practice.
During the first part, basic models, algorithms, data structures and applications are introduced in a series of lectures. In addition, the participants will prepare 30-minute talks on basic technologies that will be used in the project.
During the second part, the participants will be jointly designing, implementing and evaluating a location-based service consisting of a mobile application, a web service and a web-based application.
The theoretical part of the project group covers the following contents:
- Geometric, symbolic and hybrid location models
- Localization systems and algorithms for outdoor and indoor environments
- (Energy-)efficient location acquisition and communication
- Server-based location data management
- Privacy aspects related to location information
- Example location-based services and applications
The practical part of the project group will be based on the following technologies:
- Web Service: J2EE (Wildfly AS) with JPA (Hibernate), JAX-RS (Resteasy) and Webservice IDL (Swagger)
- Web Applicaiton: Typescript (Nodejs) with reactive (Vuejs) views and map visualizations (Leafletjs)
- Mobile Application: Android (Android Framework, HSQLDB)
Students participating in this course should have good programming skills in at least one object-oriented language and should be familiar with HTTP.
The number of participants in this course ranges between 6 and 10. The admission to this course is managed centrally.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been widely deployed in many application domains including environmental monitoring, surveillance, healthcare, automation control and more. A typical WSN consists of a set of low-powered and inexpensive embedded sensor devices with specific sensing modalities and with computation as well as communication capabilities. These devices collaborate with each other by exchanging data through energy-efficient, short-range radios. The application provides its services by manipulating the sensory data collected by the deployed WSN.
In this project, you will learn how to develop an integrated application providing services by making use of a WSN. The topics that will be covered include:
- Wireless sensor system programming
- Sensory data collection
- Data delivery and communication through IEEE 802.15.4 networks
- Interfacing between the user and the deployed WSN
This course will be taught in English. If you are not sure whether you fulfill the requirements or if you want to participate in the project, please send an email to matteo.ceriotti@uni-due.de.

Computing and communicating devices become smaller and smaller; they moved from desks to everybody’s pocket; ultimately, they become embedded in the environment that surrounds our everyday life. This vision has been addressed under different names, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) being one of them. As this happens, we become capable of monitoring in real-time the evolution of complex physical phenomena, as well as observing and controlling composite industrial processes. We can also instrument objects and scenarios to understand the current situation and smartly react to it. Unfortunately, the complexity of these systems, the limited visibility in system behaviour and the constrained available resources make the design and realisation of reliable systems challenging.
This seminar aims at familiarizing students with important research topics in this field. The covered topics include, among others, routing, localization, sensing, communication, simulation, modelling, programming abstractions, applications and systems of low-power wireless embedded networks. Participants will have to do a literature research and they will have to create a high quality written report. Furthermore, they will have to give an oral presentation of their topics.
This seminar is suitable for students at the bachelor and master level. However, it cannot be chosen by master AI-SE students. This seminar is given in English. Please also note that the maximum number of participants is limited. If you have questions regarding this seminar, please send an email to matteo.ceriotti@uni-due.de.
