We are pleased to announce that Heiko Bornholdt’s dissertation, “Software-Defined Overlay Networking for the Deployment of Distributed Applications at the Edge”, has been published.

This doctoral dissertation introduces drasyl and its foundational concept of software-defined overlay networks. drasyl was developed as part of this dissertation—or, as some might say, the dissertation was developed around drasyl!

Today’s post is about the master thesis “A Secure Context-Aware Middleware for Computation Offloading in Untrustworthy, Open, and Dynamic Edge Environments” by Kevin Röbert. In his master’s thesis, Kevin Röbert designed, implemented, and evaluated a system capable of offloading computations to the cloud, grid, and edge devices. He integrated drasyl into the Tasklet computation offloading middleware.

Today’s paper is about a master thesis that deals with in-network data processing systems. Maintaining data integrity in in-network data processing systems is difficult. While individual nodes can be assumed to cooperate in closed systems, malicious participants must be detected and dealt with in open networks.
