Curriculum Vitae/HTA Biel Studies 1 HTA Biel, Computer Science Studies {!Curriculum Vitae/HTA Biel Studies/overview} 1.1 Description Studies in {link:Biel|http://www.biel.ch/} with main subject computer science. One year base studies in computer science, electronics and economy. The second year I chose to focus on economy as subsidiary subject. As usual for computer science students in Biel I spent then a year in the industry (see above). Finally the third school year with three consolidation subjects (Computergraphics, Marketing & Electronic Commerce, Information Systems) besides some final courses. Diploma as engineer in Computer Science (dipl. Ing. HTL in Wirtschaftsinformatik). 1.1 Projects - {link:SceneBuilder Java3D|http://www.hta-bi.bfh.ch/Projects/SceneBuilder/} (Computergraphics, Diploma Project / 1999 / Java3D): SceneBuilder Java3D is a Rapid Application Developement tool for designing scene graphs graphically and generating Java3D source code afterwards. - {link:Stinger Simulation|http://www.stefanrufer.ch/stinger/} (Computergraphics / 1999 / Java3D): Java3D application simulating a STINGER air-defense system. The marksman can combat different targets in different VR-environments. (Application in english, documentation in german, {link:Screenshot|http://www.stefanrufer.ch/pic/stingerview.gif}) - {link:Mã - Mathilda|} (Project work / 1997 / Java Applet): An Applet illustrating graphically the functional coherence of p(z)=w, where p(z) is a complex Polynome, z and w are complex variables. Besides the graphical illustration in the complex plane, a calculator for complex polynomes is included.

Extensive analysis of the payment systems on the Swiss E-Commerce market. Design of a micropayment connection to the project {link:EFTPOS|http://www.hta-bi.bfh.ch/I/Projects/eftpos/}. - {link:Genetic Algorithms|http://www.stefanrufer.ch/genetic/} (Neuronal Networks / 1999): As a supplement of the course Neuronal Networks of {link:W. Businger|http://www.hta-bi.bfh.ch/~bgw/} I presented a practical approach to genetic algorithms. The theory is illustrated with the example implementation of "The Travelling Salesman". - {link:Wearable Things|http://www.stefanrufer.ch/wearable/} (Marketing, E-Commerce / 1999 / Paper in German): Wearable Things that think - this subject is cause of many fancy projects e.g. at the {link:MIT|http://www.mit.edu/}. We discuss some examples and in particular the technical background, applications, business-model and future possibilities of the famouse {link:Swatch|http://www.swatch.com/} Access watch. - {link:Bio-ID|http://www.stefanrufer.ch/Passwort/} (Information Systems / 1999 / Paper in German): Modern Identification systems should not rely on simple passwords. A possible work around are biometrical identifications. Besides, zero knowledge cryptology algorithms provide an even higher security and anonymity for the user. - {link:The DNA of information|http://www.stefanrufer.ch/BeingDigital/} (Marketing, E-Commerce / 1999 / Paper in German): Nicholas Negropontes chapter in "Being Digital" about "The DNA of information" points out some interesting ideas. The paper discusses what this DNA might be, how we notice or use the DNA of information and what future applications possibly are. - {link:Digital Money|http://www.stefanrufer.ch/DigitalMoney/} (Cryptology / 1999): Describes the requirements for modern digital money. Main part is the "inside look" of a cryptographic protocol with anonymity, blind signature and double spending protection. - {link:Die Seuche|http://www.stefanrufer.ch/seuche/} (German / 1997 / Paper in German): In-depth analysis of the novel "Die Seuche" of the Swiss author Lukas Hartmann. The book (the title translates to "The Epidemic") is about the relations of two main epidemics threatening mankind: The ancient plague and nowadays AIDS. - {link:Economy Summary|http://www.stefanrufer.ch/bwl/} (Economy / 1996, 1997 / Paper in German): Summary of our economy course of the first two years. Two thick files compressed to about 50 pages. The subjects covered are: Accountancy, Management, Procurement, Production. 2005-05-01 17:00:40.68 2004-10-04 09:48:38.476
