Samuel Kounev

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Samuel Kounev (born June 1, 1976 in Sofia ) is a German computer scientist and university professor . He holds the chair for software engineering at the Institute for Computer Science at the Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg and is Dean of the Faculty for Mathematics and Computer Science.

Life

Samuel Kounev studied mathematics and computer science at the University of Sofia and graduated in 1999 as the best of his year. In 2000 he did his military service in Wratza ( Bulgaria ). From 2001 to 2005 Kounev obtained his doctorate in engineering. with honors from the Technical University of Darmstadt . For his dissertation he received the award for outstanding scientific achievements from the Association of Friends of the Technical University of Darmstadt eV Afterwards he was a PostDoc Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge in Great Britain until 2008 ; funded by a research grant from the German Research Foundation . In spring 2006 and summer 2007 he was visiting professor at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in Barcelona ( Spain ). With a return grant from the DFG, Kounev went to the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology .

In 2009 Kounev was accepted into the Emmy Noether Program of the DFG and until 2014 headed the junior research group “Descartes” at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.

In addition to his work as Emmy Noether group leader at KIT, Kounev headed the EU- funded graduate school - Marie Curie Initial Training Network (ITN) RELATE - from 2010 to 2015 as a scientific coordinator , in which 29 doctoral and postdoctoral students from five different countries were trained .

Since April 1, 2014, Samuel Kounev has been professor and holder of the chair for Computer Science II (software engineering) at the University of Würzburg.

Research priorities

Kounev (research in the field of software engineering, with a focus on distributed systems , cloud-based systems , Cyber-Physical Systems , Internet of Things and Industry 4.0 applications). His research aims at new approaches to the engineering development of reliable and efficient software systems. The goal of these approaches is to enable the systems to automatically register changes in their environment and to predict the effect of such changes on their behavior. The systems should then adapt automatically. In addition, Kounev conducts research in the design, analysis and benchmarking of software systems, the virtualization of IT infrastructures and in the field of machine learning and predictive data analysis.

Kounev's research works in the area of ​​"self-aware computing", which he helped shape as a researcher:

  • Dagstuhl Seminar 15041: Model-driven Algorithms and Architectures for Self-Aware Computing Systems, January 18-23, 2015.
  • Springer book on Self-Aware-Computing.

More functions

Kounev is the founder and elected chairman of the SPEC Research Group, an association within the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) - the world's largest benchmark standardization consortium in the field of IT. The SPEC Research Group is concerned with the development of standardized procedures and tools for measuring, analyzing and evaluating computer systems.

He is co-founder of the ACM / SPEC International Conference on Performance Engineering (ICPE), the first joint event by ACM and SPEC. Kounev holds the role of Chairman of the ICPE Steering Committee. Since 2016 he has been chairman of the governing body of the IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC). He is also co-founder and elected chairman of the governing body of the new IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Self-Organizing Systems (ACSOS) - a merger of the IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC) and the IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self- Organizing Systems (SASO).

Kounev is a member of the ACM , the IEEE and the Gesellschaft für Informatik .
