Short bio

Benoît Garbinato is a full professor in computer science at the University 
of Lausanne, where he leads the Distributed Object Programming Lab. In the 
nineties, he contributed to the emerging research trend on separation concerns 
and protocol composition in fault-tolerant distributed systems, as part of his 
Ph.D. thesis. He then worked in the industry, first for the research lab of UBS 
in Zurich (Ubilab), where he lead the software engineering group, and later for 
Sun Microsystems' professional services, as senior software architect. Since his 
return to the academic world, his research and teaching activities focus on the 
design and implementation of adequate programming abstractions for emerging 
distributed architectures, such as pervasive and mobile systems. He has over 50 
publications in international conferences and journals, and is member of the ACM 
and the IEEE societies.
