Josef Widder

I am temporary associate professor (Privatdozent) in the Embedded Computing Systems group at TU Wien.
In the past, I worked at the Parasol Lab at Texas A&M University, the Laboratoire d’Informatique LIX at Ecole polytechnique, and at the FORSYTE group at TU Wien.

My primary area of interest is the theoretical approach to distributed algorithms, currently focussing on automated verification of fault-tolerant distributed algorithms.

CV from July 2018.

Helmut Veith 1971-2016

It is with the deepest sadness that we announce Helmut Veith’s passing on March 12, 2016. Helmut was a brilliant researcher, an inspiring collaborator, a stimulating teacher, a generous friend, and a wonderful father and husband. He leaves a void that will be impossible to fill. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
