I'm happy to announce the immediate availability of my thesis! It was handed in in July 2010 as my diplom thesis in the academic program of Media Informatics at Beuth Hochschule für Technik Berlin (University of Applied Sciences). A German Diplom is comparable to a combined bachelor's and master's degree. Originally it has been written in German, so I'm very happy it's also available for English speaking readers now: thanks a lot to the awesome Sander Van de Moortel for translating it into English, and to CouchOne for sponsoring the translation. Read also my thank you notes for more gratefulness.
I hope the thesis is an interesting read and useful for your research or development!
I'm done!! Three weeks ago I handed in my diplom thesis. The practical part was the design and implementation of a distributed, replicatable outliner with the NoSQL database CouchDB. As theoretical work I evaluated Distributed Systems, CouchDB, various web technologies and programming strategies. I still have to pass the oral exam, but my degree is finally very close - soon I can call myself a graduated computer scientist. Yay!
As soon as academic procedures allow it, I'll publish the text and the source code of the thesis here. Until then I'd like to say thank you to a few people. As the foreword of thesis won't get as much attention as this blog, I'll do it here.
