Paper A Dialog Control Framework for Hypertext-based Applications online (December 2, 2002)- This paper about my diploma thesis introduces a notation for specifying the dialog flow of hypertext-based applications, i.e. the succession of hypertext pages displayed on the client and application logic operations performed on the server. A key concept is the encapsulation of multiple dialog steps in context-independent dialog modules, which can be nested arbitrarily.
Updated resume (December 2, 2002)- My updated resume is now available in English and German.
New weather links online (August 19, 2002)- The contact page now features updated links to current weather maps.

Faked e-mails with W32.Klez.gen@mm worm (April 24, 2002)- It seems that someone is sending out e-mails with a faked "From: mb@matthiasbook.de" header that are infected by a worm of the W32.Klez.gen@mm family. The infected e-mails are 60-160 KB large and contain a few random words in the subject and body. The attached worm exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express that allows infection even when the e-mail is only previewed. Detailed information and a removal tool are available at the Symantec Security Response site. I would like to stress again that I am not responsible for the infected e-mails.
"Live" data links (February 27, 2002)- The Contact Information page now features links to selected current and realtime data related to Haltern, such as weather, traffic, and satellite imagery.

Parallel Fractal Image Generation paper (July 9, 2001)- This paper discusses algorithms to implement an in-order output of sequential data generated by a parallel program, using the example of fractal image generation. In order to achieve this, several synchronization techniques (blocking and non-blocking token passing, non-blocking polling) are examined for their suitability. A subsequent performance analysis shows that the parallel algorithm achieves an overproportional speedup over serial algorithms.
Mirror move (June 19, 2001)- Due to a problem with the old U.S. mirror host, many files were missing between mid-May and mid-June. Since I was travelling at that time, I couldn't do much about the situation. With the move to the new U.S. host pair Networks, the problem has been fixed. I'm sorry for any inconvenience.
Back in Germany (June 17, 2001)- After two semesters at the University of Montana and four weeks of travelling around Alaska, I'm back home now to finish studying at the University of Dortmund. The travel reports for the Alaska and Utah trips will be coming soon.
