Raj Rajkumar, Professor of ECE and CS, has been awarded the Outstanding Technical Achievement and Leadership Award by the IEEE Technical Committee on Real-Time Systems.
This award is given to one individual every year who has made exceptional contributions to the domain of real-time systems.
The award was presented at a banquet during the IEEE Real-Time Systems Symposium held in Washington D.C. from December 2 to 4, 2009.
ECE Ph.D. Student, Karthik Lakshmanan, is the principal author of a paper that received the Best Student Paper Award at the IEEE Real-Time Systems Symposium held in Washington DC from December 2-4, 2009.
The paper, titled "Coordinated Allocation, Scheduling and Synchronization on Multiprocessors," is coauthored by Professor of ECE and CS, Raj Rajkumar, and Dr. Dionisio de Niz, ECE alum who is currently at the CMU Software Engineering Institute.
This work addresses the emerging field of chip-multiprocessors which represent a dominant new shift in the field of processor design.
Adjunct Electrical and Computer Engineering Professor Paulo Veríssimo has been named a fellow by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). The designation, which is the ACM's highest membership grade, is conferred on ACM members who have distinguished themselves by outstanding technical and professional achievements in information technology. Veríssimo was cited specifically for his contributions "to dependable and secure distributed computing."
Veríssimo, a full-time professor in the Department of Informatics at Portugal's University of Lisbon, focuses his research efforts on architecture, as well as middleware and protocols for distributed, pervasive and embedded systems — specifically the facets of real-time adaptability and fault/intrusion tolerance. He is an IEEE fellow, former head of the Department of Informatics, and founder and current director of the University of Lisbon's Large-Scale Informatics Systems Laboratory (LASIGE). He's authored more than 150 refereed publications in international scientific conferences and journals; co-authored five books; and has delivered several keynote speeches, tutorials and seminars across the globe on fault- and intrusion-tolerance, real-time, and security in distributed systems.
