Dresden University of Technology

TU Dresden (Technische Universität Dresden) was founded in 1828 and is among the oldest technical-academic educational institutions in Germany. The university's fourteen departments offer a broad academic spectrum. Course offerings are continuously expanded to include internationally recognized degrees. Leading companies have honored the university's commitment to practice-oriented teaching and research, among other things with eleven endowed professorships. TU Dresden is the only university in Eastern Germany that was approved for a graduate school (Dresden International Graduate School for Biomedicine and Bioengineering) and a Cluster of Excellence in the first round of the Initiative for Excellence, funded by the German government to promote top-class research at German universities.

For the THESEUS research program, the Chairs of Databases and of Computer Networks at the Faculty of Computer Science contribute their experience.

Research activities at the Chair of Databases focus on adding application-specific functionality to the classical concept of a database
management system. The general goal is to develop a database management system to serve as the central integration and analysis platform within an enterprise-wide data organization system.

Major research focus areas of the Chair of Computer Networks include the Internet of Services, Semantic Web technologies, mobile and collaborative systems, and network design tools. The chair puts strong emphasis on both basic research & applications and the knowledge transfer into the industry.
