Biography

Oliver Hühn studied Computer Sciences at the TU München (TUM) where he finished his studies with a diploma - Dipl.-Inf. (Univ.). During his studies Oliver worked as a freelancer and was involved in several projects as consultant and software developer.
Since December 2005 Oliver is working as a research assistant at the Chair of Internet-based Information Systems (IBIS) of the TU München. Till 2006, Oliver was jointly responsible for the development of holistic admission control policies for IT service providers as part of the project "Dynamic Value Webs for IT-Services" in cooperation with Siemens Business Services (SBS).
The scope of his current research is the usage of performance modelling techniques for efficient IT service provisioning. In this context Oliver is responsible for the project "Performance Modelling of large-scale DTP Systems" in cooperation with Telefónica o2 Germany and iteratec. The project is funded by the "Bayerische Forschungsstiftung".

Research Projects

He was responsible for the following research projects:

Performance Modelling of large-scale DTP Systems

Distributed Transaction Processing Systems are nowadays used in most service industries to handle their productive day-to-day business. During load peaks, these enterprise systems often experience high latencies and response times develop in a non-linear way. In this project we develop new models to analyze and optimize throughput based on business priorities and manage the system capacity of large-scale DTP systems.

Theseus / Texo - Performance Analysis of Service Orchestrations


THESEUS is a research program initiated by the German Federal Ministry of Economy and Technology (BMWi), with the goal of developing a new Internet-based infrastructure in order to better use and utilize the knowledge available on the Internet. The aim of the TEXO application scenario within THESEUS is to provide businesses with an infrastructure for new web-based applications and services, on the basis of service oriented architecture (SOA). In this project we address the task of predicting performance measures like end-to-end workflow response times, throughput, or service component utilizations in orchestrated business processes.

Policy-based Admission Control


IT service providers are increasingly hosting different services on shared infrastructures. While this fosters system utilization, system failovers, unexpected service behaviour or peak demands for one or more services may exploit resource pools entailing performance losses and service level violations. The aim of this research project is the development of new models and methods for dynamic admission control on shared infrastructures to prevent overload situations and to provide services according to agreed service levels.
