Mobile Society (MoSo)

We are a research team as part of the research group for industrial software (INSO) dealing with mobile systems, technology and applications that have an impact on our daily life and society.

Summer Term 2012

In the summer termin we offer the following topics for labs and bachelor/master thesis with a major on security as well as image processing. Please note, that we prefere students doing a lab in combination with their thesis in order to reach a suitable level of material/knowledge for their thesis. Of course, we are happy do dicuss different options.

The presentation of the topcis will be on March 12th, 2012 at 17:00 in HS 14 (Karlsplatz, Stg. 3, 3. Stock).
