The “HPI Future SOC Lab” is a cooperation of the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) and industry partners. Its mission is to enable and promote exchange and interaction between the research community and the industry partners. The HPI Future SOC Lab provides researchers with free of charge access to a complete infrastructure of state of the art hard and software. This infrastructure includes components, which might be too expensive for an ordinary research environment, such as servers with up to 64 cores and 2 TB main memory. The offerings address researchers particularly from but not limited to the areas of computer science and business information systems. Main areas of research include cloud computing, parallelization, and In-Memory technologies. This technical report presents results of research projects executed in 2017. Selected projects have presented their results on April 25th and November 15th 2017 at the Future SOC Lab Day events.

The Internet has developed into a communication infrastructure of critical importance for global society and business. In this study, we analyze the impact of systematically attacking border routers and the resulting effects on global Internet connectivity at the autonomous-system level. For this, we simulate several malware-propagation strategies that disable border routers of leading manufacturers, and study their impact on a graph model of the Internet topology. Moreover, we also investigate the effect of attacks that simultaneously remove all routers of a particular vendor from the network. Our results show that targeted attacks on border routers would be extremely efficient and harmful to the global Internet connectivity.

Due to demographic changes, health information technologies comprising electronic health records (EHR), electronic medical records (EMR), personal health records (PHR), remote patient monitoring (RPM) and other healthcare related websites are gaining significant relevance. They constitute a great opportunity for efficiency gains and further benefits. One of the major barriers to their successful adoption involves individual health information privacy concerns. In order to understand their nature and better mitigate them, this narrative literature survey deals with the antecedents of these concerns. In particular, this study identifies type of information, health status, recipient of information, knowledge of health information technology, experience of privacy invasions, age, gender, and education as highly important characteristics.
