Dr Vladimir Stankovic
Current Position: Research Fellow
Background: Vladimir holds Ph.D. (2008) and B.Eng. Honours (2003) degrees in Software Engineering and Computing, respectively, from the City University London.
Initially, he was employed as a Research Assistant at the CSR working on the DOTS project and contributing to the DIRC project. Subsequently, he was appointed as a Research Associate, Security and Forensic Evaluation of ICT systems, and contributed to the centre's ongoing initiative in dependability and security assessment of computer-based systems. During this appointment he obtained the Ph.D.
He was appointed to a permanent post as a Research Fellow in CSR in January 2009.
Vladimir has served as the reviewer for the reputable international conferences: ISSRE (IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering), EDCC (European Dependable Computing Conference) and DSN (IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks).
Recently, Vladimir has been involved in the following CSR projects:
Vladimir's main research interests are the assessment of dependability (including security) and performance of computer-based systems, and, more narrowly, development of distributed algorithms (particularly in the field of replicated databases).
