MS/Project Thesis Options

The DEEDS group targets research in the broad area of "embedded systems and robust software", and specifically composite issues in dependability, security and robustness. The thrust is on system level issues encompassing architectural, algorithmic and especially "robust middleware" (software/OS) issues related to provisioning of dependability in safety-critical as well as service/cost-critical distributed and networked systems. Increasingly, we are also looking at the links across Dependability and Security.

NOTE: There is a wide variety of topics for Diploma/Bachelors projects that we can offer - the best approach is to stop by and discuss. You can also check some of the current proposals :

• Does OS source code access actually help for robustness/security testing?

• Behavior-oriented Testing Support for COTS Operating Systems Components

• Modeling Reliability of Data Transport in Wireless Sensor Networks

• Enhancing Responsiveness of Wireless Sensor Networks via Multiple Sinks
