We investigate the possibility to use update propagation methods for optimizing the evaluation of continuous queries. Update propagation allows for the efficient determination of induced changes to derived relations resulting from an explicitly performed base table update. In order to simplify the computation process, we propose the propagation of updates with different degrees of granularity which corresponds to an incremental query evaluation with different levels of accuracy. We show how propagation rules for diferent update granularities can be systematically derived, combined and further optimized by using Magic Sets. This way, the costly evaluation of certain subqueries within a continuous query can be systematically circumvented allowing for cutting down on the number of pipelined tuples considerably.
Steganography, the art of concealing information in different types of medias, is a very old practice. Yet, it only recently started being used by malware operators on a large scale. Malware programmers and operators are increasing their efforts in developing covert communication channels between infected computers and their command and control servers. In addition to steganography, recent examples include hiding communication in inconspicuous network traffic such as DNS queries or HTTP 404 error messages.
When used properly, these covert communication channels can bypass many automated detection mechanisms and render malware communication difficult to detect and block. From an attacker's perspective, covert communication channels are a valuable addition because they allow messages to blend in with legitimate traffic and thus significantly lower the chance of being detected even when inspected by a human analyst.
This presentation studies recent advances in covert communication channels used by real-world malware. First, we will show how steganography has recently been used in three different malware families (Stegoloader, Vawtrak, and Lurk). We will dive into the implementation details on how steganography is implemented and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. Furthermore, we will detail and compare the usage of inconspicuous carrier protocols for covert communication channels in malware. Examples will span commodity cybercrime as well as targeted attack malware.
The cases that are discussed in this presentation are based on real life incidents. While it is easy to speculate how covert communication channels might be used by malicious actors, documentation of real-world cases is sparse. Yet covert communication channels have arrived in both, the commodity cybercrime and targeted attack world. It is thus vital to understand the status-quo and identify current trends in cybercriminal and targeted attack malware. As such, we believe that it is mandatory to highlight what is currently being used in the wild.

Due to high power density and superior efficiency, polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) are believed to play a significant role for carbon dioxide emissions free electrical energy systems in the future. Unlike in Carnot processes, chemical energy in the form of hydrogen and oxygen is converted directly into electrical energy without a further process step. One issue in the development of PEMFCs for mobile or stationary applications is the utilization of rare and expensive catalyst material like platinum within the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) see figure 1. In addition, the objective is to reduce production costs and to increase the lifetime of PEMFC. One approach to improve PEMFCs is the development of intelligent electrode architectures. However, cost effective high performance materials are necessary to reach the development targets.
An energy economy with high share of renewable but volatile energy sources is dependent on storage strategies in order to ensure sufficient energy delivery in periods of e.g. low wind and/or low solar radiation. Hydrogen as environmental friendly energy carrier is thought to be an appropriate solution for large scale energy storage. In 2011 the NOW (national organisation for hydrogen in Germany) calculated the demand for hydrogen energy systems as positive (0.8 GW to 5.25 GW) and negative supply for varying power demand (0.68 to 4.3 GW) for the German energy economy in 2025. Due to its dynamic behaviour on load changes polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) as well as water electrolyser systems (PEMEL) can play a significant role for large scale hydrogen based storage systems. In this work a novel design concept for modular fuel cell and electrolyser stacks is presented with single cells in pockets surrounded by a hydraulic medium. This hydraulic medium introduces necessary compression forces on the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) of each cell within a stack. Furthermore, ideal stack cooling is achieved by this medium. Due to its modularity and scalability the modular stack design with hydraulic compression meets the requirements for large PEMFC as well as PEMEL units. Small scale prototypes presented in this work illustrate the potential of this design concept.
