 <note>Please note that this list of subjects is **not exhaustive. Interested students are invited to propose original subjects.**</note>
+===== Master Thesis in Collaboration with Euranova =====
+Our laboratory performs collaborative research with Euranova R&D (http://euranova.eu/). The list of subjects proposed for this year by Euranova can be found
+{{:teaching:mfe:mt2014_euranova.pdf|here}}
+These subject include topics on distributed graph processing, processing big data using Map/Reduce, cloud computing, and social networks.

+===== Master Thesis in Collaboration with DPI 24/7 Media Publishing =====
+The goal of the thesis is to set up a Saas / Paas solution for the deployement of the dpi 24/7 media publishing distribution in a Heroku-like style.
+During this master thesis you will not only realize a theoretical and technological analysis of the problem of such a deployment but also implement a concrete solution for the dpi 24/7 distribution.
+From a technical point of view you will :
+  * Develop a service using Docker and Dokku for the on-demand deployment of instances of the DPI 24/7 distribution (full stack architecture)
+  * Realize performance tests of the developed service
+  * Study the different options of the Paas mode (full stack or elastic deployment)
+Second, you will analyze the different existing solutions for the orchestration of an elastic virtualization architecture.
+Technology used by the DPI 24/7 distribution : Linux, Varnish, NginX, Php-fpm, Mysql (in background Tomcat, SOLR).
+Virtualization technology : Container virtualization and deployment with Dokku
+Virtualization architecture : Full-stack versus Elactic
+Performance test of the architecture
+Evaluation of orchestration container : Salt, Serf, Flynn, Fig...

+===== Design and Development of a Comprehensive DICOM validation application=====
+Using the new XML machine-readable format of the DICOM standard (in the form of docbook documents), the architecture of software tools and services for the automatic extraction and utilization of the full content of the DICOM standard will be defined and the corresponding software solutions will be developed. A comprehensive DICOM validation application will also be developed as a pilot project using the previously created DICOM standard digital services.
+References: <http://dicom.nema.org/; http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/>
+Requirements: XML, XSL, database, Java or Python or C++.

+===== A contribution to Apache DRILL =====
+Google's research lab has produced a remarkable number of software
+systems for the analytics of Big Data:
+  * [[|Map/Reduce]] for offline, batch-oriented data analysis over arbitrary datasets
+  * [[http://googleresearch.blogspot.be/2009/06/large-scale-graph-computing-at-google.html|Pregel]] for offline analysis over graph-structured datasets
+  * [[http://research.google.com/pubs/pub36632.html|Dremel]] for on-line analysis over structured datasets
+For Map/Reduce and Pregel, the Apache Software foundation has
+previously constructed open source implementations ([[http://hadoop.apache.org/|Hadoop]],
+[[https://giraph.apache.org/|Giraph]]). For Dremel, a project is
+currently underway to provide an Open Source implementation (known as
+[[http://incubator.apache.org/drill/index.html|Apache Drill]]).
+The goal of this thesis is to (1) study the current architecture of Apache
+Drill, (2) compare this with the state of the art in query processing
+for structured datasets; (3) contribute to the development of the
+Drill implementation.
+Students interested in this MFE are highly advised to follow the
+course {{http://cs.ulb.ac.be/public/teaching/infoh417|INFOH417
+Database Systems Architecture}} for a background on query processing
+in traditional database management systems.
