Prof. Dr. Lane A. Hemaspaandra

Fachgebiet:

Theor. Informatik

Forschungsaufenthalt in Deutschland:

01.03.2010 - 31.03.2010

Profil

Lane Hemaspaandra is one of the leading scientists in complexity theory. He has shaped this field like only very few others and made pathbreaking contributions to computational politics and to the complexity of voting, which is central to preference aggregation and decision-making in artificial intelligence, social choice theory, operations research, and economics. He initiated the theory of query order and studied semi-feasible computation, one-way functions, and network structure recovery problems. His research project in Germany is entitled "Complexity and Elections."

Prof. Dr. Edith Hemaspaandra

Fachgebiet:

Theor. Informatik

Forschungsaufenthalt in Deutschland:

01.03.2010 - 31.03.2010

Profil

Professor Hemaspaandra is well known internationally for her outstanding achievements in theoretical computer science. She made important contributions to the fields of computional complexity theory, computational social choice theory, constraint satisfaction, and modal logic. Her study of the computational aspects of voting systems and of preference aggregation has applications in artificial intelligence, in particular for multi-agent systems. In her research project in Germany she seeks to find natural voting systems that are computationally resistant to various forms of manipulation and electoral control.

Prof. Dr. Zoran Salcic

Fachgebiet:

Techn. Informatik

Forschungsaufenthalt in Deutschland:

01.01.2010 - 30.11.2010

Profil

Professor Salcic is well known internationally for his outstanding work in computer systems engineering. He has made important contributions to the field of configurable and reconfigurable logic for high performance computing and also in the area of mixed reactive and data flow based programming models and programming languages for embedded systems such as SystemJ. During his stay in Germany, he intends to extend these paradigms to heterogeneous multi-processor systems and applications that are able to change and adapt themselves over time, so-called "invasive computers".
