Students can do their Thesis work together with industry partners.
For a diplom thesis a student usually makes a 6 month contract.
Currently many companies use thesis work for prototyping and research/development work.
Out partners include Daimler, Daimler-Fleetboard, Bosch, IBM R&D lab, Alcatel, Softlab, UBS and many others
In many cases we enter into a long-term partnership with companies. Thesis work is then planned to work continuously toward a larger goal of both the industry partner and CS&M
Examples: Building generators for J2EE application development, semantic protocol definition for home device configuration, intrusion detection systems, modeling of buildings for cave use etc.
