About

CSCUBS is organized by PhD- and MSc-Students and aims to promote research in computer science and scientific exchange among students. The participation of researchers and practitioners of the field is also encouraged.

The 5th Computer Science Conference for University of Bonn Students (CSCUBS):
  • For new research or development related to Computer Science, including University projects, theses, and outcomes of other professional activities.
  • Promotes scientific exchange among students.
  • Peer-reviewed.
  • Online publication of accepted papers.

  • The 5th Conference will be held on May 16, 2018 (Dies Academicus) at the University of Bonn. CSCUBS intends to provide the ability to connect with each other and engage in discussions about the participants’ respective research and development, and also to establish opportunities for knowledge and technology sharing. Submissions to CSCUBS should describe new research or development related to Computer Science, including University projects, theses, and outcomes of other professional or leisure activities.

    We welcome submissions from all areas of Computer Science (in English or German).

    Prizes and awards:

    • best paper (250 €)
    • best poster (150 €)
    • best lightning talk (100 €)

    Important for PhD Students

    For PhD students (including students who are about to start a PhD) we are organising a dedicated poster and networking session. This will require a 2-page abstract on the topic of your PhD. Accepted submissions will be presented as A1 posters.

    In this poster session you will be able to network with other PhD students as well as identifying potential synergies.

    Abstract: Modern data management techniques must deal with data that is inherently noisy or uncertain: this is the case, e.g., of the results of automated processes (information extraction, machine learning, etc.), and of untrustworthy information (e.g., Web pages or crowdsourced datasets). To address this challenge, the field of probabilistic data management has studied how to model uncertain data in a principled way, e.g., using relational databases with probabilistic annotations, that concisely represents a probability distribution. Probabilistic data management also studies the computational complexity of query evaluation on probabilistic data, e.g., determining in which cases we can efficiently compute the probability of a query result.

     

    Note on Talk: In this talk, I Antoine Amarili presents how probabilistic data management can leverage the structure of uncertain data, e.g., using graph-theoretic measures such as treewidth. The general approach is to decompose the input database instance to a tree-shaped encoding, and use Courcelle's theorem to rewrite the query to a tree automaton that runs on this encoding. I will present how these tools can be extended to probabilistic data, following the approach known as knowledge compilation: we compute a circuit representation of the uncertain query result, we show that it belongs to a restricted class of circuits, and we use this to perform probability computations on the circuit. The talk will also present other ways to use these circuit representations to enumerate query results or to describe the provenance of the results.

    Abstract: In the recent years, side channels attacks have progressed from being academic curiosities to an omnipresent threat, exemplified by the Meltdown and Spectre bugs of the modern CPUs. In this presentation, we will look at a brief history of the side channel attacks on IT-security and why it is so hard to defend against them in modern complex systems.

     

    Short CV: Dr. Jernej Tonejc has been working and researching in cryptography for almost 20 years, focusing primarily on the elliptic curve cryptography, fast implementations for embedded systems, and deployment of public key infrastructure using smart cards. He obtained his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Wisconsin at Madison and has been teaching courses in IT-Security for almost a decade. As a member of the Cyber Security team at the Fraunhofer FKIE Institute, Jernej has published several papers on the topic of security, with a special focus on building automation security. Since 2016, he has been working for the German Federal Office for the Information Security (BSI) as part of the section "Requirements for and Development of Systems Protecting Classified Information".
