Abstract: Blogging is an interesting phenomenon not only from a socio-cultural and medial perspective. The "blogosphere", as the collective set of all blogs and their authors is sometimes called, has adapted and developed a whole range of interaction patterns. In this paper, I give an overview of the methods which bloggers use to communicate with their readers and with each other, and for what kind of communication they are typically used. Furthermore, blogging is explained in the context of the medial development of our culture.

This paper has been written for the Computergestützte Kooperation course. I chose to develop the topic of blogs mostly towards interaction patterns.

Abstract: Modern application software deals with rising expectations towards functionality as well as usability. In this paper, the relation between software functionality and complexity of graphical interfaces is examined and several ideas and methods for creating appropriate interfaces even for complex applications are illustrated.

This paper has been written for the accompanying seminar for the course Interactive Systems, though the idea for the topic was my own.

Abstract: Teachlets as an innovative teaching method have been used since 2004, but literature on the topic is sparse and not up to date. In this paper I review the last six years of Teachlet usage, examine the established definition for deficiencies and correct them, describe current trends and developments, and discuss conceptual limits as well as further possibilities for Teachlets as a teaching method for software engineering and architecture.

This paper constitutes the official end of my studies and awards me the degree Bachelor of Science in Informatics. After getting to know and learning to love Teachlets, I made it my passion to further explore the concept in my bachelor thesis.

Abstract: This paper deals with implementing stateful systems in the Java programming language. The state pattern is explained and applied in several ways to a simple example. Other design ideas are then discussed, specifically the use of modern Java capabilites, deviating from the structural properties of the traditional pattern.

This paper was written for the "Concepts of object-oriented programming languages" that was conducted by Axel Schmolitzky and Christian Späh in the summer of 2009.

This is the full documentation for the teachlet that Janina Nemec and I held in the "Concepts of object-oriented programming languages" course.

It is probably only useful if you want to conduct this teachlet again and make yourself familiar with it. For that purpose, it should be quite helpful.
