University of Groningen - Mathematics
Master degree in january 1983 (cum laude) with specialization
``system and control theory.'' My masters thesis was called (in Dutch)
``Ontwerp van een computer programma voor het oplossen van
storingsontkoppelingsproblemen.'' |

Department of Computing Science, Groningen - Researcher/Ph.D. student
As a ``wetenschappelijk assistent'' in the
department of computing science of the university of
Groningen, part of the time I assisted in the setup of the new
computing science curriculum. Research first focussed on
simulation techniques, resulting in [Sme03],
later on discrete event
systems, resulting in a Ph.D.degree in January 1989. The Ph.D.thesis was
called ``Control of Discrete Events.'' [Sme04] |
1989 -
|
Department of Computing Science, Groningen - Assistent Professor
Among
other things, my research interests are in Software engineering and discrete event systems.
Together with Petr
Kozák (Academy of Sciences, Prague) I organized a
congress on discrete event systems in August 1992
[WODES92]. After the 11th international
conference on analysis and optimazation of systems in 1994 in Sophia
Antipolis (France), also considered to be the second wodes, the next WODES
has been co-organised by me in
Edinburgh, Scotland in august 1996, this time together with
Michael Spathopoulos (Strathclyde University), see
[WODES96]. The following WODES was
organized in Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy by Alessandro Giua, Michael
Spathopoulos, and myself, see
[WODES98] (a special issue of jDEDS, devoted to WODES98, was published in 2002).
Currently I am a member of the WODES steering committee, see e.g.
WODES2000.
I participate in IPA (Institute
for Programming research and Algorithmics) and in the TMR-project
ALAPEDES. I am a
member of the Dutch Association for
Theoretical Computer Science, the NVTI and participate in the Dutch Foundation for Measurement and
Control Technology.
From November 2000, I became a member of the research
group software engineering and start studying
software architectures and product lines.

Department of Mathematics and Computing Science, Groningen - scientific coordinator
In this half-time function, I was a coordinator for education and
research within the department and responsible for personal, financial
and location management. I was head of the secretary of the department
and of the office for education.
In this function, as part of a course on management, I
have worked on the electronic learning environment [ELO].

From march 2003 on, I am one of the two Web coordinators for the faculty.
I am chairing the faculty web council and member of the university web
council and responsible for both technique and content of the 14
faculty webportals within the university web platform.
