• Replication of data and services
• Self-stabilising (distributed) algorithms
• Region-faithful (distributed) algorithms
• System software for mobile computing systems
• Dynamics in distributed systems
• Distributed basic algorithms, in particular aspects of scalability,
  self-organisation, gentle system reduction and energy efficiency
• Consistency concepts for distributed objects, object groups and transactions
• (Wireless) sensor networks
• Sensor technology, e.g. for environmental phenomena
