Publications
Currently I have no formal publications although I have lots of ideas. Time - as so often - does not permit me to write them down. However I have many publications which were created while I was with the project ForauS. They may not be of interest for the general public. Following are documents pertaining to computer science which I wrote during my formal studies (all written in German):
