Graduiertenkolleg
‘Software for Mobile
Communication Systems’
The ideas of Graduiertenkolleg “Software for mobile Communication Systems” are as
follows:
New ways of exchanging data through different types of networks are continuously evolving.
This includes particularly mobile communication, which has by now become more or less
ubiquitous, thanks to an ever increasing level of user acceptance. This, in turn, is largely due
to improved standards and a vastly expanded variety of services. Future application
developments will more and more be based on user requirements rather than just feasibility.
Here, the most important domains include electronic commerce, transport telematics, new
forms of working, and other innovative concepts such as e-learning, e-government, and e-
home. For these new applications to be acceptable, new underlying technologies and services
are a sine-qua-non. Moreover, the increasing mobility of users will lead to an equally
increasing role wireless networks will play in communication infrastructures. Yet, users
expect application functionalities to be independent from the underlying communication
network. Considerable additional research will be needed to actually meet this requirement.
Within the framework of the Graduate School research will focus on three areas:
’Applications’, ’Middleware and New Service s’ and ’Network Infrastructure’. New
applications will be specified, implemented, and tested. Middleware architectures and
associated new services will on the one hand be designed to meet user and application
requirements. On the other hand, they will be capable of adapting to different underlying
communication architectures and infrastructures. Work will focus on those applications and
services which lend themselves to access via wireless networks.

After ten years of successful work with 45 scholarship holders and 10 supervisors the
Graduiertenkolleg “Software for mobile Communication Systems” is now in its final stage.
