Kleanthis Thramboulidis
received his MSc and PhD degrees in electrical
engineering from the University of Patras, Greece, in
1981 and 1989, respectively.
He is a research and teaching staff professor in
software engineering in the Department of Electrical &
Computer Engineering at University of Patras, Greece,
where he is leading the Software Engineering Group
(http://seg.ece.upatras.gr/seg).
He is currently a visiting professor at Saarland
university Germany.
Visiting
professor at TKK Finland (Aug 2009-Jan 2010).
He teaches courses as Software
Engineering, Programming Languages, Advanced Programming
Techniques, Software Engineering for Embedded Systems,
etc.
Kleanthis Thramboulidis has authored seven books on
programming and modeling (in Greek) and contributed 3
book chapters. He has proposed a constructivism based
approach to teach object oriented programming.
He has been using the Object-Technology since 1989 and has successfully
applied it with great success in many research and development projects, in
many different application domains during his participation in European and
National research and development projects (ESPRIT, ESSI, IST, etc.).
Kleanthis Thramboulidis has extensive engineering
experience working as an analyst and design engineer in
many different application domains. He is the designer
of REDOM, an OO Language to define and on-line
manipulate regulations in the resource (re)scheduling
problem used in the airline domain, and CORFU, a
framework for the unified development of distributed
control systems (http://seg.ece.upatras.gr/corfu/).
He has proposed Model Integrated Mechatronics (MIM), a
new paradigm for the model driven development of
Mechatronic Manufacturing systems (http://seg.ece.upatras.gr/MIM/).
He
has organized several Special Sessions in the domain of
Factory automation and industrial informatics. He is
currently working on a service-based development
platform for distributed control and automation systems.
Research areas cover Industrial Automation Systems,
Mechatronics, model driven development, meta-modeling,
distributed control and automation systems, embedded
systems, object technology, CASE tools, component and
service based development, service-oriented
architectures, and semantic web.
He is a member of the IEEE computer Society and
Association for Computing Machinery and member of the
IEC WG7-TC65-SC65B. |
