Worst-Case Performance Evaluation (WCPE)

Focus
Projects focus on software development to support our research. Topics most likely revolve around significant improvements to our Network Calculus tool, the NCorg DNC. However, prior knowledge in Network Calculus is not required.
Coordination
WCPE projects are handed out on an individual basis, on an individual time line. Please contact our (internal) team members personally for additional project topics or send an email to dnet-teaching(at)rub.de.

Sample Project Topics

  • Port the NCorg DNC graph backend to an external library, expose and test newly obtained features (visualization, export/import, graph algorithms for routing, etc.)
  • Convert the NCorg DNC’s recursive backtracking of flow dependencies to an iterative algorithm
  • Enable the NCorg DNC to derive, evaluate, export/import the (min,plus)-algebraic term that bounds the worst-case end-to-end delay
  • Implement application-specific modeling capabilities along with a GUI, e.g., for automotive Ethernet or TSN
  • Implement pipelines for automated numerical evaluations and benchmarks of the NCorg DNC and related tools
