A Half Century of Internet: How it works today (openHPI)

CS: Information & Technology

The Internet connects more than half of the world's population. This revolutionary form of transmitting all kinds of data between places on the planet has made the network of networks the indispensable backbone of societies. The number of users has exploded to four billion people. The speed of change is dramatic and for some breathtaking. Many well-known and even more unknown personalities have shaped the development of the Internet. However, this exciting success story also reveals the dark sides of this development. What has become of the original hope for a democratization of communication? To what extent has the Internet provided access to better educational opportunities? How do large Internet companies and governments use the Internet? How can you safely communicate over this network?

Digital Identities (openHPI)

Security & Networking

The average Internet user has more than 25 Internet accounts, which are created for a wide variety of purposes. Besides accounts for e-mail services or social networks, users need access to learning platforms or online shopping services. Each of these internet accounts represents an individual digital identity. Each of these identities in turn contains a wide variety of personal information. In addition to information used to authenticate a user, such as an e-mail address and password, other services require very personal and sensitive data, such as bank details for payment and the place of residence for the subsequent delivery of an order.

The impact of technology and networks on our lives, culture, and society continues to increase. The very fact that you can take this course from anywhere in the world requires a technological infrastructure that was designed, engineered, and built over the past sixty years. To function in an information-centric world, we need to understand the workings of network technology. This course will open up the Internet and show you how it was created, who created it and how it works. Along the way we will meet many of the innovators who developed the Internet and Web technologies that we use today.

In this course we briefly introduce the DCIC and the various Centers that collect data for LINCS. We then cover metadata and how metadata is linked to ontologies. We then present data processing and normalization methods to clean and harmonize LINCS data. This follow discussions about how data is served as RESTful APIs. Most importantly, the course covers computational methods including: data clustering, gene-set enrichment analysis, interactive data visualization, and supervised learning. Finally, we introduce crowdsourcing/citizen-science projects where students can work together in teams to extract expression signatures from public databases and then query such collections of signatures against LINCS data for predicting small molecules as potential therapeutics.

Sicherheit im Internet (openHPI)

Security & Networking

Hackern gelingt es immer wieder, Passwörter zu stehlen, auf sensible Firmen- und Userdaten zuzugreifen und somit schlimmstenfalls ganze Unternehmen lahmzulegen. So vielfältig die Möglichkeiten sind, die das Internet seinen Nutzern bietet, so vielfältig sind auch die Angriffspunkte und potenziellen Gefahren, die vom Internet ausgehen und vielen Menschen noch nicht richtig bewusst sind. In diesem openHPI-Kurs lernen Sie die Grundbegriffe der Internetsicherheit kennen. Warum ist das Internet in seinem Grunddesign unsicher? Welches sind die Schwachstellen des Internets und wie werden diese von Cyberkriminellen ausgenutzt? Diese Fragen werden unter anderem in diesem Kurs beantwortet. Gleichzeitig erhalten Sie einige Tipps, wie Sie sich vor solchen Angriffen schützen können.

Blockchain: Hype oder Innovation? (openHPI)

Computer Science

Das Thema Blockchain polarisiert und hat sich in letzter Zeit zu einem Medienhype entwickelt. So sehen viele die Blockchain-Technologie entweder als eine Allzweckwaffe, zu der aber nur wenige einen Zugang haben, oder als eine Hacker-Technologie für geheime Geschäfte im Darknet. Dadurch sind diejenigen, die sich für das Thema interessieren, gezwungen sich für oder gegen die Blockchain-Technologie zu entscheiden. Dabei liegt die Innovation der Blockchain-Technologie in ihrer erfolgreichen Zusammensetzung bereits vorhandener Ansätze: dezentrale Netzwerke, Kryptographie und Konsensfindungsalgorithmen. Im Rahmen des Kurses werden wir Ihnen helfen, Ihren eigenen Standpunkt zur Blockchain-Technologie zu finden und aufzeigen welche Eigenschaften wirklich innovativ und welche nichts weiter als ein Hype sind.

Mastering Design Thinking in Organizations (openHPI)

CS: Information & Technology Business

Design thinking (DT) is a valuable approach for enabling effective innovation in organizations (Kolko 2015). Just as a company’s, objectives for DT are diverse, so is the diversity of how and why organizations implement and succeed DT. While some companies start small in one department, others make DT part of their strategy and implement DT globally throughout the whole organization and embed it into their corporate DNA.

Knowledge Graphs - Foundations and Applications (openHPI)

Data Science

Even though it affects our lives every single day, most of us have no idea what a knowledge graph is. Asking Alexa about the weather tomorrow or searching for the latest news on climate change via Google, knowledge graphs constitute the backbone of today’s state-of-the-art information systems. From improving search results over question answering and recommender systems up to explainable AI systems, the applications of knowledge graphs are manyfold. Overall, the goal of this course is to provide a broad overview of knowledge graphs and their underlying technologies as well as their significance in today's digital world.
