Open HiWi positions at the Chair of Technical Information Systems
Our Chair of Technical Information Systems (https://www.ti.rw.fau.de/) at WiSo in Nürnberg has three open HiWi positions:

Integration of Bluetooth Low Energy Devices with Linked Data

https://www.ti.rw.fau.de/open-positions/student-assistant-integration-of-bluetooth-low-energy-devices-into-the-chairs-system/

Abstract
The Chair of Technical Information Systems has developed software that provides a Linked Data interface for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices. The so-called BLE-adapter runs on a Raspberry Pi and allows the integration of BLE-devices in bigger Semantic Web applications by offering a REST API. The major aim of this work is to reverse-engineer the protocols of BLE-devices which will help us to support those by our software.

Data

  • Starting date: As soon as you can.
  • Hours per month: 30h – 40h

Tasks

  • Reverse-engineering of vendor specific BLE-protocols.
  • Documentation of the results in a Linked Data format.
  • Search for new, interesting BLE-devices that could be integrated into our system.
  • Reporting bugs of the BLE-adapter.
  • (Optional) Fixing bugs in the BLE-adapter

Beneficial Skills
The task can basically be done by any student with a connection to computer science. However, there are some skills that have a positive effect on an application:

  • Attended the Foundations of Linked Data lecture.
  • Basic knowledge of the Bluetooth Low Energy protocol.
  • Experience in using command line tools.

Miscellaneous
Due to the current situation the student may conduct the work at home.

Linked Data Processing (MOSAIK)
(klick link for additional information)
https://www.ti.rw.fau.de/open-positions/student-assistant-linked-data-processing-mosaik/

Abstract
In the BMBF funded research project MOSAIK we are investigating methods for aggregating software components in a flexible and self-organized manner. Therefor we need some implementation work to be done on our Linked Data processing system Linked Data-Fu.

Data

  • Starting date: At earliest convenience
  • Hours per month: 20h – 40h

Tasks

  • Help with implementation work regarding Linked Data-Fu (Java)
  • Possibly additional tasks in the scope of the MOSAIK project

Beneficial Skills

  • Profound knowledge of the Java programming language
  • Familiarity with Linked Data, RDF and other Semantic Web technologies

Self-Organizing Scenarios (MOSAIK)
(klick link for additional information)
https://www.ti.rw.fau.de/open-positions/student-assistant-self-organizing-scenarios-mosaik/

Abstract
In the BMBF funded research project MOSAIK we are investigating methods for aggregating software components in a flexible and self-organized manner. Therefor we need some exemplary self-organization scenarios (e. g. ant colonly foraging, self-organizing traffic lights, etc.) to be implemented using our Framework (including our Linked Data processing system Linked Data-Fu.

Data

  • Starting date: At earliest convenience
  • Hours per month: 20h – 40h

Tasks

  • Implementing interesting self-organization scenarios
  • Possibly additional tasks in the scope of the MOSAIK project

Beneficial Skills

  • Familiarity with the concepts of self-organization and emergence
  • Familiarity with Linked Data, RDF and other Semantic Web technologies
