Yolande Berbers
I am a professor at the Department of Computer Science of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium), where I am a member of the research group DistriNet (Distributed Systems and Computer Networks).
I am vice-dean of the Faculty of Engineering and President of the Leuven Center on Information and Communication Technology (LICT).
Research Interests
In general my research interests include:
- software engineering for embedded and real-time systems
- model-driven architecture
- middleware infrastructure
- context-aware computing
- ambient intelligence and ubiquitous computing
- system support for distributed applications (a.o. mobile agents)
I am involved in the following projects: CoLaSUE, ConDAnUsI, Condor, CROSLOCiS, E'Hawk, LOMS, MDE, MUSIC, OptiMMA, SPICES and VOLGES
Education: courses (most are taught in Dutch):
- Software for real-time control (in Dutch and in English)
- Computer architecture and system software
- Operating systems
- Industrial experience: computer science (Bedrijfservaring)
- Industrial traineeship: computer science (Industriële stage)
- Software tools (informaticawerktuigen)
Education: Committees
- Member of the Program Advisory Committee (Permanente Onderwijs Commissie, POC) Computer Science, since 1980
- President of Program Advisory Committee of the Faculty of Engineering (FPOC)
- Member of the Education Council of the university (Onderwijsraad)
