Welcome at the Chair of Distributed Systems and Security

The Chair of Distributed Systems and Security addresses the critical challenges of designing and managing distributed systems while ensuring robust security. As foundational elements of modern computing, these systems enable resource sharing and scalability but also introduce complex issues related to coordination and consistency.

Our research areas include large-scale measurements, high-speed local area networks, wireless networking, network coding, and distributed storage systems.

By fostering collaboration among students, researchers, and industry professionals through seminars and joint projects, we aim to produce relevant, impactful research. We invite stakeholders from academia and industry to join us in shaping the future of distributed computing.

 

In addition, we are committed to teaching and providing students with the best possible learning and exam experience. To this end, we are also investigating how the examination system TUMexam currently used at the TUM can be improved, e.g. by supporting examiners with handwritten text recognition (HTR) of free-text answers.
