Name:
Edgar Nett
Affiliation:
Otto-von-Guericke-Universitaet
Magdeburg
Current
Position: Professor (C4) in Real-Time
Systems and Communication
Edgar
Nett obtained his Ph.D. in Computing Science from the University of
Bonn in
1978. He has led several research projects of the German national
research
center for Information Technology (GMD) dealing with multiprocessor
scheduling,
development of test and reconfiguration strategies for multiprocessor
architectures under VLSI constraints, and fault-tolerant, distributed
operating
systems. Since Dec. 1991, when he habilitated at the university of
Bonn, he
became also a member of the faculty staff of its department of Computer
Science. At the same time, he was appointed head of the research
division for
responsive systems at GMD. Since beginning of 1999, he is professor for
technical computer science at the Otto-von-Guericke University of
Magdeburg.
Edgar
Nett has done research in various areas of distributed system design,
advanced
information technology for concurrent engineering, QoS communication,
and
distributed real-time control. Particularly, it includes cooperative
action
management, real-time behavior, object-oriented design, software fault
tolerance, reliable, real-time and secure communication protocols, mesh
networks and measurement of distributed systems. He has published more
than 100
refereed publications, one book and several book chapters.
He
served in leading committee positions for numerous workshops,
conferences and
symposiums related to distributed, reliable, real-time, and
object-oriented
computing. Among them, he chaired the 14th IEEE Int.
Symposium on
Reliable Distributed Systems (SRDS) as well as the 4th IEEE
Int.
Symposium on Object-Oriented Real-Time Distributed Computing (ISORC).
He is a
member of the steering committee chair of SRDS, the annual IEEE
symposium on
Reliable Distributed Systems. which he has chaired already for two
periods.
He
is a member of the GI (Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V.) and a
member of the steering
committee of its special interest group on fault-tolerant computing
systems. He
joins the IEEE technical committees on Fault Tolerance and Distributed
Computing.
He
is the founder and co-owner of a well established company, which does
consulting work in the areas of secure business processes, application
performance engineering of complex IT systems, and automation networks
for
major German companies.
