Short Biography

Sebastian Fischmeister received the Dipl.-Ing. degree in Computer Science at the Vienna University of Technology, Austria, in March 2000, and his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science at the University of Salzburg, Austria in December 2002. He continued working at the University of Salzburg as researcher and lecturer and was awarded the Austrian APART stipend for young, excellent researchers in 2005. He subsequently worked at the University of Pennsylvania, USA, as Post Graduate Research Associate until 2008. Sebastian Fischmeister is currently Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, Canada, and Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer and Information Science at the University of Pennsylvania.

Sebastian Fischmeister performs systems research at the intersection of software technology, distributed systems, and formal methods. His preferred application area are distributed embedded real-time systems in the domain of automotive systems and medical devices. Key highlights of his research include a framework for scalable location-based pervasive computing systems and tree communication schedules for verifiable but flexible real-time communication. He is now working on the theory and application of state-based schedules for adaptive systems and a debugging framework for time-sensitive systems. A slightly modified version of his real-time communication framework is currently used for the plug-and-play demonstration of medical devices and to promote an upcoming interoperability standard in this domain.
