Teaching

Currently, I am supervising in joint cooperation with IBM the Master's Thesis of Axel Busch, working title Workload Characterization for I/O Performance Analysis on IBM System z.

Supervised Theses:

[1] Kiana Rostami, Performance-Vorhersage von virtualisiertem Storage mit Warteschlangennetzen. Study thesis, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), 2012.

[2] Dominik Bruhn, Modeling and Experimental Analysis of Virtualized Storage Performance using IBM System z as Example. Diploma thesis, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), 2012.

 

I am/was involved in supervising students during multiple practical courses and seminars between the summer term 2011 and the current summer term 2013. The practical courses and seminar are/were, among others:

  • Practical Course Qualität von Anwendungen auf Cloud-Großrechner IBM z10
  • Practical Course Software Quality Engineering mit Eclipse
  • Seminar Qualität virtualisierter Ressourcen
  • Seminar Betriebliche Unternehmenssoftware und IBM System z
