Professor Daniel P. Siewiorek is the Buhl University Professor
of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science at Carnegie
Mellon University, where he helped to initiate and guide the Cm*
project that culminated in an operational 50-processor multiprocessor
system. He has designed or been involved with the design of nine
multiprocessor systems and has been a key contributor to the dependability
design of over two dozen commercial computing systems. Dr. Siewiorek
leads an interdisciplinary team that has designed and constructed
over 20 generations of mobile computing systems. He has served as
a consultant to several commercial and government organizations,
while serving on six technology advisory committees. Dr. Siewiorek
has also written eight textbooks in the areas of parallel processing,
computer architecture, reliable computing, and design automation
in addition to over 475 papers. Elected an IEEE Fellow in 1981,
for contributions to the design of modular computing systems, he
was awarded the Frederick Emmons Terman Award by the American Society
for Engineering Education in 1983 for outstanding young electrical
engineering educator and received the IEEE Computer Society and
Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Eckert-Mauchly Award in
1988 for his outstanding contributions in parallel computer architecture,
reliability, and computer architecture education. He is a member
of the 1994 inaugural class of ACM Fellows and elected to the 2000
class of the National Academy of Engineering. He was named fellow
of the Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 2005
and was recognized by ACM SIGMOBILE with the 2006 Outstanding Contributions
Award for pioneering and fundamental contributions to wearable and
context-aware computing. He also received the University of Michigan
2006 Computer Science and Engineering, College of Engineering Alumni
Society Merit Award. Dr. Siewiorek has served as Associate Editor
of the Computer System Department of the Communications of the Association
for Computing Machinery, as Chairman of the IEEE Technical Committee
on Fault-Tolerant Computing and as founding Chairman of the IEEE
Technical Committee on Wearable Information Systems. Currently Director
of the Human Computer Interaction Institute, he was previously Director
of the Engineering Design Research Center and co-founder of it's
successor organization, the Institute for Complex Engineered Systems,
where he served as Associate Director. He is a member of IEEE, ACM,
Tau Beta Pi, Eta Kappa Nu, and Sigma Xi.
Professor Siewiorek received the B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering
from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1968, and the M.S.
and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering (minor in Computer Science)
from Stanford University, in 1969 and 1972, respectively.
