After really a long looong time JUNG 2.0beta1 was finally released

With JUNG – the Java Universal Network/Graph Framework – you can do a lot of great things around modeling, analysis, and visualization of data that can be represented as a graph or network. For me especially the visualization and graph layout methods had been a great pleasure during my diploma thesis. Hopefully the (new implemented) analysis and clustering algorithms will also enthuse me during the next months (or years ) of work, research, leisure, whatever…

For the interessed: A communiy of 736 nodes as part of the much larger CAIDA internet topology and a path between two nodes. All this was done with methods from the JUNG framework as a part of my diploma thesis.

Internet World Business nominates SONES

For the last months I’m working for a small start-up called “SONES GmbH” located in Erfurt Germany. The goals of the company is to develop new search technologies respecting the fact that the normal SQL-based way of storing information within fixed tables is not the best solution for a large bunch of new applications like social networks and other areas where the combination or the context of information is more important the (naked) information as it is. If your interessed in some background information related to this topic just read the following publications: Google BigTable, FaceBook Cassandra

As a real technology company SONES will not only design and implement new concepts for searching, but also new concepts for storing these information in application specific distributed filesystems (e.g. GoogleFS) using latest ideas related to Future Internet designs.

Today, while I’m visting the EuroView Workshop in Würzburg (Germany), we were noticed that the INTERNET WORLD Business newspaper has nominated SONES as one of the most important (german) start-ups. As a reader of this newspaper you can vote for SONES till 30. September 2008. The winners of the contest will receive an Onlinestar during the INTERNET WORLD Congress in Munich in October.
