This page is mainly of historical interest; my current web page is at www.macwilliams.de/asa. E-Mail:

I was a research assistant at the Technische Universität München from 2001 to 2004, and am still an occasional guest; you can best contact me by e-mail.

Research

My research interests include:

• Distributed service software architectures
• Adaptive middleware
• Context-aware computing
• Augmented reality

My Ph.D. advisor is Prof. Bernd Brügge, Ph.D.; my Ph.D. thesis, which is in the process of being reviewed, is A Decentralized Adaptive Architecture for Ubiquitous Augmented Reality Systems.

I have been involved in these research projects:

• DWARF (1999-today)
  • My focus is on the overall software architecture based on distributed services.
  • If anything is wrong with the DWARF Middleware, blame me.
  • I have been actively involved in Pathfinder^?, TRAMP, SHEEP, and ARCHIE.
  • I am currently involved in Ubiquitous Tracking, as well as helping with CAR.
  • Contact me if you need a new project acronym.
• UMTS / Mobile Wartung (2001-today)
  • This project is part of the Offensive Zukunft Bayern and focuses on mobile maintenance applications.
• Software Patterns for AR (2002-today)
  • Check out the Software Patterns for AR web site.
• ARVIKA (2002)
  • Together with Thomas Reicher, I conducted a study on AR software architectures within the ARVIKA project.

Workshops/Conferences:

• I was lucky to be able to help in preparing STARS 2003 - The International Workshop on Software Technology for Augmented Reality Systems.

Teaching

I was involved in supervising these student projects:

• ARCHIE (November 2002 - May 2003)
• SHEEP (March 2002 - October 2002)
• TRAMP (October 2001 - February 2002)

Students I have supervised or am currently supervising:

• Lothar Richter: Design and Practical Guidline to a CORBA-Based Communication Framework^? (Studienarbeit)
• Daniel Pustka: Visualizing Distributed Systems of Dynamically Cooperating Services (Systementwicklungsprojekt)
• Franz Strasser: Personalized Ubiquitous Computing with Handhelds in an Ad-Hoc Service Environment (Systementwicklungsprojekt)
• Fuat Atabey, Recep Kayali: Analysis and Modeling of Maintenance Workflows for Migration From Paper-based Maintenance Instructions to Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals for Rohde und Schwarz GmbH & Co. KG (Systementwicklungsprojekt)
• Markus Geipel: Run-time Development and Configuration of Dynamic Service Networks (Systementwicklungsprojekt)
