Short Bio:
Eduardo Tovar was born in 1967 and has received the Licentiate, MSc and PhD
degrees in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Porto,
Porto, Portugal, in 1990, 1995 and 1999, respectively. Currently he his
Professor in the Computer Engineering Department at the School of Engineering
(ISEP) of Polytechnic Institute of Porto (IPP), where he is also engaged in
research on real-time distributed systems, wireless sensor networks,
multiprocessor systems, cyber-physical systems and industrial communication
systems. He heads the CISTER Research
Unit, an internationally renowned research centre
focusing on RTD in real-time and embedded computing systems. He is deeply
engaged in research on real-time distributed systems, multiprocessor systems,
cyber-physical systems and industrial communication systems. He is currently
the Vice-chair of ACM
SIGBED (ACM Special Interest Group on Embedded Computing Systems) and was
for 5 years, until December 2015, member of the Executive Committee of the IEEE
Technical Committee on Real-Time Systems (TC-RTS).
Since 1991 he authored or co-authored more than 150 scientific and technical
papers in the area of real-time and embedded computing systems, with emphasis
on multiprocessor systems and distributed embedded systems. Eduardo Tovar has
been consistently participating in top-rated scientific events as member of the
Program Committee, as Program Chair or as General Chair. Notably he has been
program chair/co-chair for ECRTS 2005, IEEE
RTCSA 2010, IEEE RTAS 2013
or IEEE RTCSA 2016,
all in the area of real-time computing systems. He has also been program
chair/co-chair of other key scientific events in the area of architectures for
computing systems and cyber-physical systems as is the case of ARCS 2014 or the ACM/IEEE ICCPS 2016 or in the area of
industrial communications (IEEE WFCS
2014).
