Institute of Mobile and Distributed Systems

We are a multidisciplinary computer sciences institute specialising in the Internet of Things (IoT) and IT security.

We use our sound expertise in computer sciences to research the limitations of convergence between the real and virtual world to develop large, distributed and complex computer sciences systems that can interact with the physical world. For us, the Internet and its proven technologies play a central role here: with its open standards and robustness, the Internet presents an ecosystem and a communication platform that supports a high scalability and expandability; a key issue for any computer engineer.

In the three research fields of IT Engineering, Fast Data and IT Security, we apply our expertise in constructing complex distributed IT systems, timely processing and safe handling of data streams.

Competencies

IT Engineering

Internet of Things systems place new demands on IT. We are proficient in the architectures, technologies and methods for developing such systems.

Fast Data

The integration of the physical with the virtual world generates an enormous volume of data. We derive knowledge from these data streams as quickly as possible.
