Frank Golatowski is with the excellence centre on life science automation CELISCA where he is leading the research group on wireless sensor network. His works aims at transferring research results gathered in the field of wireless sensor networks into life science automation. He is responsible for courses on “Real-Time Systems”, “Embedded Systems”, and “Networked Embedded Systems” at Rostock University. His current research interests are in the field of wireless sensor networks, ambient intelligence, and device-centric service-oriented architectures. He was a senior research assistant of electrical engineering at University of Rostock, where he built-up real-time systems group and the mobile robotics lab. He took part with his team “CoolRUNners” at various RoboCup competitions (e.g. world championship) and received leading places. He was chair of a series of special sessions on service-oriented architectures (INDIN, IECON) in converged networks and is now chair of SOCNE workshop. He served as a PC member and reviewer of various conferences (e.g. ETFA, INDIN, IECON, AINA) and reviewer or editorial board member of Trans. of Industrial Informatics, Journal of Ubiquitous Computing and Intelligence, and EURASIP Journal on Embedded Systems. He worked as a reviewer for European Commission and Belgium public authority.
In 2006 he received the ITEA achievement award for outstanding contributions in the SIRENA project (www.itea2.org) on service-oriented infrastructures. He initiated the WS4D Open Source initiative ws4d.org for deploying web services based solutions for embedded systems.
Dr. Golatowski received Dipl.-Ing degree (1989) in Cybernetics and Automation and a Doctorate degree (1998) in Computer Engineering from University of Rostock, Germany.
