I joined the workgroup of Prof. Zitterbart at the institute of operating systems and networking (IBR) in 1997. Since April 1996 I have been holding a scholarship of the German foundation for liberal policy - Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung.

Current Project

"Interconnecting Fieldbuses through ATM" - (in conjuncton with IFAK Magdeburg)

Networks for factory automation, often named fieldbuses, have been developed to fulfill real-time requirements. However, they can only cover geographical areas such as factory halls or buildings. Therefore, model is needed that enables internetworking fieldbuses through ATM networks. A remote bridge is used to span longer distances between fieldbus components in a separated fieldbus. Furthermore, a multiport bridge connecting several independent fieldbuses is investigated. The emphasis is laid on the investigation of quality of service requirements the transport channel provided by the ATM network has to meet. By means of the wide spread fieldbus PROFIBUS the implications for real time applications and the system behavior will be considered.   Step into further details
