Prof. Dr. Harald Kosch's chair represents the field of distributed information and multimedia systems. His chair has made a significant contribution to MPEG and W3C standardization. In addition, the chair is currently conducting research in the areas of metadata standardization, the integration of data privacy in information systems, and intelligent information systems. Another area of interest for the chair is research into green IT.
Our teaching focuses on applied computer science, particularly information systems (core area), multimedia databases, distributed systems, data mining, data warehouses and web-based information systems.
Each semester, we offer exciting lectures and practice-oriented seminars. Feel free to find out more about our courses for the current semester.
Our research focuses on the development of intelligent systems for distributed information processing, acquisition, and analysis for multimedia and data-intensive applications. We regularly publish our work in leading journals, and our chair is part of the IRIXYS research centre.

Would you like to write your Bachelor's or Master's thesis at our Chair? We are happy to supervise theses in our main areas of research.
Further information on the topics and requirements can be found on the Thesis Supervision page.
The International Research and Innovation Centre in Intelligent Digital Systems (IRIXYS) was founded in 2016 by the Faculty of Computer Science at the University of Passau, INSA Lyon (France), and the Università degli Studi di Milano (Italy). In addition to hosting several workshops each year for early-career researchers and developing joint projects at the national and international levels, IRIXYS promotes cotutelle doctoral projects (joint doctoral degrees awarded by two of the participating universities) within the framework of the international doctoral programme MDPS (Multimedia, Digital Privacy and Security). It also supports the awarding of two master’s degrees through the German–French double master’s programme IFIK (Informatique – Information und Kommunikation).
The leading computer science researchers brought together at IRIXYS in the fields of multimedia, IT security, and distributed and pervasive information systems share the primary goal of driving technological innovation through their expertise.
