Hermann Kopetz received his PhD degree in physics "sub auspiciis
praesidentis" from the University of Vienna, Austria in 1968. He was
a manager of a computer process control department at Voest Alpine in
Linz, Austria, before joining the Technical University of Berlin as a
professor for Computer Process Control in 1978. Since 1982 he is
professor for Real-Time Systems at the Vienna University of Technology,
Austria. In 1993 he was offered a position as Director of the Max
Planck Institute at Saarbrücken, Germany. During the last few years,
Dr. Kopetz has been a visiting professor at the University of
California in Irvine and in Santa Barbara a number of times.

Dr. Kopetz' research interests focus at the intersection of real-time
systems, fault-tolerant systems, and distributed systems. He is the
chief architect of the Time-Triggered Protocol (TTP) for distributed
fault-tolerant real-time systems, which evolved out of the MARS
project at the Technical University of Vienna. In the last few years,
Dr. Kopetz and his research group work in the field of automotive
electronics. He is presently involved in two large European ESPRIT
projects where his pioneering work on time-triggered architectures is
being transferred to the automotive industry.
Dr. Kopetz has published more than 100 papers and patents in the
fields real-time computing, distributred computing and fault
tolerance. He has been active in the organisation of many
international conferences. From 1990 to 1992 he was the chairman of
the IEEE TC on Fault-Tolerant Computing. In 1993 Dr. Kopetz was
elected to the grade of a Fellow of the IEEE for his contributions to
the field of fault-tolerant real-time local-area distributed
systems. Dr. Kopetz is the Chairman of the IFIP WG 10.4 on Dependable
Computing and Fault-Tolerance since 1996.
