9:15 – Challenges in Information Fusion

Sten Andler - University of Skövde

Sten F Andler is a Professor of Computer Science at University of Skövde, Sweden, and Program Director of Infofusion, the Research Program in Information Fusion at Skövde. Infofusion is funded for 6 years by a grant from the Swedish Knowledge Foundation with matching grants from industry and the university, totaling over USD $18 M. He has also served three years as Dean of Science at the University. Prof. Andler was affiliated with IBM for fourteen years at the Almaden Research Center and Software Solutions, San Jose, CA. He has also been Visiting Professor at University of California at Berkeley and Research Intern at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). Prof. Sten F Andler received his Ph.D. in Computer Science in 1979 from Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden, also in 1979. His interests are in the areas of information fusion, distributed systems, real-time systems, databases, and operating systems. In addition to the Information Fusion Program, now in its fifth year, Prof. Andler heads a research group in Distributed Real-Time Systems (DRTS), with activities in information fusion infrastructures, distributed real-time databases, and model-based software testing. Prof. Andler is a Member of the ACM, the IEEE Computer Society, and International Society for Information Fusion (ISIF). He is a Member of the Editorial Board of Innovations in Systems and Software Engineering: A NASA Journal, and the Board of Directors of ISIF. The Infofusion research program (www.infofusion.se) focuses on civilian scenarios, such as pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and civil security.
