Scientist
CV
Andreas Disterhöft, M.Sc. studied Computer Science at the Heinrich-Heine University in Düsseldorf from late 2008 to 2014. In his studies he focused on computer networks and specialized in secure and decentralized social networks. He graduated with a Master thesis on "A Browser-based Dynamic Overlay for Secure Real Time Communication via WebRTC".
Since August 2014 he is researcher and Ph.D. student in the Lab for Technology of Social Networks, led by Jun.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Kalman Graffi.
His research interests are monitoring and browser-based overlays for large-scale peer-to-peer systems.
My Research
Distributed Monitoring in Large Scale Overlay Networks (OverlayMeter)
So far research in the quality of peer-to-peer overlay networks area focused on optimized mechanismus for selected usage szenarios. The transfer of a particular solution to another use case is mostly impossible because the parameter setting is fixed for a special use case.
In order to enable overlay networks to serve for a wide range of application areas with optimized quality this project aims to provide an information basis which can be used for optimized overlay parameter settings and strategy selections. With the help of this information basis future quality-centric overlays will be eased and new overlay mechanisms can use these to optimally select parameter settings and strategies.
Also this research project focuses on the research of measurement mechanisms to create a global view on capacities of the peers in order to enable capacity-based peer search.
Furthermore we focus on creating usage statistics and rankings on the documents of the network.
