Student (Masters) Projects in Mansion

THIS PAGE IS OBSOLETE. It is kept temporarily for historical reasons (read: I'm too lazy to find and remove all the links to this page, or to bother about changing its content..)

We need students to implement parts of the Mansion mobile agent system!

Currently available projects:

• Secure execution of untrusted programs
  This project is about extending and porting the Mansion jailing system to different operating systems. The jailer can execute arbitrary untrusted code, and is used to execute agents in Mansion.
• Secure medical worlds in Mansion
  This project is about supporting medical applications using the Mansion mobile agent system, which can be used to let agents inspect confidential information in a secure way.
• Scientific applications in Mansion
  This project is about supporting scientific applications such as bioinformatics applications using the Mansion mobile agent framework.
• Security in Distributed Systems
  This project is about implementing mechanisms that provide security in large-scale distributed systems.

Please contact Guido van 't Noordende (guido@cs.vu.nl) if you are interested in any of these projects.
