Internet of Services (ST 2015)

This SNET project is about carrying out a whole project. A given topic will be analyzed, specified, implemented, tested and documented. These topics can vary within the following groups of related subjects:

• Mobile Computing
• Context-aware Computing
• Linked Data
• Digital Communities
• Cloud Computing
• Web Services

Depending on the topic, the project will be supervised by different SNET researchers, T-Labs employees or other guest lecturers. At the beginning of the semester, the participating students can apply for one of the specific tasks, which will be announced at the beginning of the semester in the first lecture. Then the supervisor will define groups and regular meetings with the students, explain the task and provide materials and tools. During the semester, each participant of the project has to present their topic, progress and final results in different talks.

The course is conducted in English and requires programming skills. It is principally designed to impart

• technical skills 30%
• method skills 20%
• system skills 20%
• social skills 30%

This compulsory course (Wahlpflichtfach) addresses Bachelor, Master and Diploma students of

• Computer Science (Informatik)
• Computer Engineering (Technische Informatik)
• Business Informatics (Wirtschaftsinformatik)
• Media Informatics (Medieninformatik)
• ICT Innovation
• Compulsory Elective in other degree programs possible if course is not full

After organizing in groups, the main part of the project is managed by you. Additionally you regularly meet with your supervisor (normally once a week) and he will assess your advance. Furthermore there are three mandatory milestone appointments, where you present your progress and results in front of the whole group.

The lecture and workshops will take place at TEL 20 - Auditorium.

The method of examination is the portfolio exam ("Portfolioprüfung"). All in all 100 portfolio points can be achieved:

• 2 x Practical implementation (25 portfolio points each)
• Presentation (25 portfolio points)
• Written report (25 portfolio points)

The final grade under the terms of § 47 (2) AllgStuPO is calculated according to the grading scheme no. 2 of faculty IV. Attendance of all appointments is mandatory.

Each topic requires different number of participants and is limited in general. Students with substantial knowledge of Java or another object-oriented programming language can register for this course by sending an email including name, field of study, bachelor or master program, matriculation number, experiences with object-oriented programming, and preferred topics to iospregistration@snet.tu-berlin.de. Registration is open until April 21th 2015. At the introductory lecture, the topics will be presented and any registered student may choose a topic.

Here, you will find the slides with the topics:

• Slides with topics 1-6 and Introductions

IoSP milestone meetings slides: 

• Content Decryption Module
• Crowdsourced Music Playlist Generation
• Fair distribution of topics
• Topic #6: NYCab
• Open Service Compendium
• Search and Recommendation in Decentralized Online Social Networks

We register you – the self-enrollment via QISPOS is deactivated. Some majors accept this course in several study areas/pillars (computer engineering, business informatics, etc.). The system doesn’t allow the assignment to a specific study area/pillar. If this affects you, this means: We still register you, but after finishing this course you have to go the examination office and move this course to your preferred area/pillar. Exception: if you want to have this as an additional course, e.g. extracurricular studies (Studium Generale) or carry over to master studies, then register via a Yellow Page (“Zusatzmodul”). 

All students need to clarify for themselves if they can use the credits in their TUB subjects.

Literature is strongly dependent on the topic and will therefore be given during the course.
