Serving the Real-time Systems Community

Posted on June 1, 2022June 2, 2022 by bennyakesson

I have been a part of the academic real-time systems community for many years by serving on the technical program committee of many key conferences, as well as reviewing articles for the real-time systems journal. This year, I am serving the real-time systems community in the following four ways.

I was invited to serve the Technical Community on Real-time Systems (TCRTS) of the IEEE Computer Society as a member of the Industry Outreach Subcommittee for a period of two years.
I joined the Editorial Board of the Real-time Systems Journal as an Associate Editor
I was appointed RTSS@Work Chair at the at Real-time Systems Symposium 2022
I served as Technical Program Committee member for the IEEE International Conference on Embedded and Real-Time Computing Systems and Applications (RTCSA)

I look forward to working with and serving the community in these roles.

IEEE Senior Membership Awarded

I was just notified that my application for Senior Membership in the IEEE was granted and that I have been elevated to Senior Member. The notification states that “IEEE Senior Membership is an honor bestowed only to those who have made significant contributions to the profession“, which is comforting appreciation of my work. I want to thank the IEEE Senior Members and Fellows that supported my application by giving their recommendations.

HiPEAC Membership

Posted on January 1, 2013August 18, 2019 by bennyakesson

I have recently become a member of the HiPEAC Network of Excellence, a network with the goal to steer and increase the European research in the area of high-performance and embedded computing systems and to stimulate collaboration between academia and industry. Joining this network is an additional step towards establishing a strong international network and I look forward to meeting new interesting people as well as seeing some well-known faces at future HiPEAC events. The membership also provides interesting collaboration opportunities by providing collaboration grants to PhD students. Any PhD students interested in a three-month collaboration visit in Prague is welcome to contact me to discuss if there is any interesting work we can do together that can result in a high-quality joint publication.
