Prof. Dr. Leonid Levin

Fachgebiet:

Theor. Informatik

Forschungsaufenthalt in Deutschland:

01.06.2010 - 31.12.2010

Profil

Professor Levin is an internationally leading researcher in theoretical computer science. He is one of the co-founders of the theory of NP completeness, which today is part of the basic curriculum of virtually every computer science programme around the globe. Furthermore, he founded the theory of average case complexity and made fundamental contributions in areas such as algorithmic randomness, Kolmogorov complexity, interactive proof systems and cryptography. In Germany, he will work on algorithmic randomness and its relations to pseudorandomness.

Prof. Dr. Klara Nahrstedt

Fachgebiet:

Techn. Informatik

Forschungsaufenthalt in Deutschland:

01.06.2010 - 31.12.2010

Profil

Professor Nahrstedt is one of today's leading researchers in computer science; in particular, in the end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) management for multimedia systems. Her work on QoS brokers, QoS routing, control theory modelling in multimedia, real-time security in mobile systems, and view-based protocols have had a major impact on the field. In Germany, she plans to investigate mobility patterns and social trust in German universities to derive efficient protocols for mobile learning communities.

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".
