Nenad Medvidović is an
Associate Professor in the Computer
Science Department at the University of
Southern California. He is the director of the
USC
Center for Systems and Software Engineering
(CSSE) and a faculty associate of the Institute
for Software Research (ISR) at the University
of California, Irvine. Medvidović is the Program Co-Chair of the 2011 International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2011), to be held in Honolulu, Hawaii, May 21-28, 2011. Medvidović received his Ph.D. in
1999 from the Department of Information and
Computer Science at UC Irvine. He also received an M.S. in Information and
Computer Science in 1995 from UC Irvine, and a B.S. in Computer Science summa
cum laude in 1992 from the Computer Science and Engineering
Department at Arizona State University.
Medvidović is a recipient of the National Science Foundation CAREER (2000) and ITR (2003)
awards, the Okawa Foundation
Research Grant (2005), and the IBM
Real-Time Innovation Award (2007). He is a co-author of the ICSE 1998 paper titled “Architecture-Based Runtime
Software Evolution”, which was recently named that conference’s Most Influential Paper. His paper “A Classification and
Comparison Framework for Software Architecture Description Languages” was
recognized by the Elsevier
Information and Software Technology Journal as the most cited journal
article in software engineering published in 2000. Medvidović’s research
interests are in the area of architecture-based software development. His work focuses
on software architecture modeling and analysis; middleware facilities for
architectural implementation; domain-specific architectures; architectural
styles; and architecture-level support for software development in highly
distributed, mobile, resource constrained, and embedded computing environments.
He is a co-author of a new textbook on software architectures. He is a member of ACM, ACM SIGSOFT, and IEEE Computer Society.
