In this area, our goal is to design adaptive and robust information systems. Within the SFB project, our research focused on storage systems that can handle storage devices of arbitrary capacities. Our results were later turned by Dr. Andre Brinkmann into a system of commercial strength. Newer research results focus on information systems that are robust against Sybil and DoS attacks.
