Gerald's Homepage

  
Some of my hobbies:
Go for a 10km run with people from my sport club in the forrests around Munich or along the Isar. Sometimes we participate in half marathon competitions in Munich or Dresden.
In spring, summer and fall I like to go hiking in the Alps and in winter go skiing with friends.
In the summer I also like to go the seashore, especially Baltic Sea. My favorite place is the Darß around Ahrenshoop, Prerow and Zingst.

Sometimes I like to drink with friends a wee drim of The Water of Life.
I also like to play Korfball which is similar to mixed netball.


I am working in the field of computer network security.
I am also interested in the field of 3D systems. A very good webpage for 3D systems is www.3Dpadelt.de

I got my Masters degree (Diplom) from the Department of Computer Science of the Dresden University of Technology.
From 9/94 to 6/95 I was a member of the Project Pilgrim at the University of Massachusetts
I was a graduate student at the Department of Computer Science.
In the summer of 1995 I did parts of my master thesis at  the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at the Massachusetts Instiute of Technology (MIT). 
From 9/92 to 6/93 I was a student at the Department of Artificial Intelligence of the University of Edinburgh


My research interests at the university were:

Client/Server applications
background traffic of Open Software Foundation's Distributed Computing Environment.
Modeling and Simulation of Client/Server applications
Published papers: Measurement and Modeling of Threadbased Application using OSF DCE , Konferenz für verteilte Systeme (Conference in Distributed Processing) Chemnitz Februar 1995, publisher Springer Verlag
Furthermore I wrote a technical report about Security in Client-Server Communication using DCE-RPC. Some parts will be presented in a paper about Inter-cell Performance Investigations , which is accepted for a poster session at the ICDP96 - IFIP/IEEE Int. Conference on Distributed Platforms .
This is my Diploma thesis (Diplomarbeit) (in German only)
