System of Systems Engineering

Dr. Bedir Tekinerdogan is a full professor and chair of the Information Technology group at Wageningen University in The Netherlands. He received his MSc degree (1994) and a PhD degree (2000) in Computer Science, both from the University of Twente, The Netherlands. From 2003 until 2008 he was a faculty member at University of Twente, after which he joined Bilkent University until 2015. He has more than 20 years of experience in software engineering research and education. His main research includes the engineering of smart software-intensive systems. In particular, he has focused on and is interested in software architecture design, software product line engineering, model-driven development, parallel computing, cloud computing and system of systems engineering. He has been active in dozens of national and international research and consultancy projects with various large software companies whereby he has worked as a principal researcher and leading software/system architect. He has developed and taught more than 15 different academic software engineering courses and has provided software engineering courses to more than 50 companies in The Netherlands, Germany and Turkey. Khalil Drira received Engineering and M.S. (DEA) degrees in Computer Science from ENSEEIHT (INP Toulouse), in 1988. He obtained Ph.D. and HDR degrees in Computer Science from the University Paul Sabatier Toulouse, in October 1992, and January 2005 respectively. From October 1992 to September 2010, he was Chargé de Recherche and, since October 2010, Directeur de Recherche, a full-time research position at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). Khalil Drira’s research interests include formal design, implementation, testing and provisioning of distributed communicating systems and cooperative networked services. His research activity addresses different topics in this field focusing on model-based analysis and design of correctness properties including testability, robustness, adaptability and reconfiguration. He is or has been involved in several national and international projects in the field of distributed and concurrent communicating systems.
