PhD Theses

Informatics is a rousing research area. The continuous enhancement of methods and tools and the innovations are a challenge to graduates and constitute an essential part of the motivation of doctoral candidates.
The dissertation is the core artefact to demonstrate that doctoral candidates are qualified for performing independent research. Consequently, topics for PHD-thesis are usually developed in a dialogue between the candidate and the supervisor.

The following list shows a variety of different research topics:

Workflow Management System
Temporal Data-Warehouses
Deductive Databases

Please contact Prof. Johann Eder if you are interested in pursuing your Ph.D.-work at AAU-Klagenfurt’s Institutes of Informatics.
