Lehrstuhl für Verteilte Informationssysteme, Universität Passau

The chair of Prof. Kosch is engaged in both teaching and research related to DIstributed and Multimedia Information Systems (DIMIS). We actively contribute to the ongoing MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 standardisation efforts in the areas of efficient metadata encoding, adaptation of multimedia content, and development of the MPEG-7 query language. Our other research interests lie in the conception of a distributed platform for interactive television and its efficient operation in the home environment using mobile devices, as well as in topics in Grid-based database systems.
