The search for new application domains in which these concepts can help to improve services constantly drives us to tackle new fields and their problems with flexibility. Some current examples from our research comprise of cloud computing, emergency first
response, as well as secure and privacy preserving online social networks, on which we are working at the moment. More information about us can be found at our website: http://www.p2p.tu-darmstadt.de/
