Short BiographyWilliam H. Sanders is a Donald Biggar Willett Professor of Engineering, the Director of the Information Trust Institute, and Acting Director of the Coordinated Science Laboratory at the University of Illinois. He is a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and the ACM. He is a past Chair of the IEEE Technical Committee on Fault-Tolerant Computing and past Vice-Chair of IFIP Working Group 10.4 on Dependable Computing. In addition, he serves on the editorial board of Performance Evaluation and is the Area Editor for Simulation and Modeling of Computer Systems for the ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation. Dr. Sanders's research interests include performance/dependability evaluation, dependable computing, and reliable distributed systems. He has published more than 200 technical papers in these areas. He is a co-developer of three tools for assessing the performability of systems represented as stochastic activity networks: METASAN, UltraSAN, and Möbius. Möbius and UltraSAN have been distributed widely to industry and academia; more than 500 licenses for the tools have been issued to universities, companies, and NASA for evaluating the performance, dependability, security, and performability of a variety of systems. He is also a co-developer of the Loki distributed system fault injector and the AQuA/ITUA middlewares for providing dependability/security to distributed and networked applications. |
