Über Alois Ferscha

Alois Ferscha war am Institut für Angewandte Informatik an der Universität Wien als Assistent und außerordentlicher Professor tätig (1986-1999). Im Jahr 2000 wechselte er als Universitätsprofessor an die Johannes Kepler Universität Linz, wo er das Institut für Pervasive Computing gründete und leitet. Er ist wissenschaftlicher Leiter des Research Studio PCA (Pervasive Computing Applications) und des COMET K1 Zentrums Pro²Future. Er hat mehr als 25 nationale (FFG, IKTdZ, PdZ) und internationale (EU FP6, FP7) Projekte in den Bereichen Pervasive/Ubiquitous/Wearable/Cognitive Computing, Wireless Sensor/Actuator Systems, WSNs, Multimodal HCI und High Performance Simulation erfolgreich abgeschlossen.

Er war Gastprofessor/Forscher an internationalen Universitäten (UoGenova, UoOregon, UoMaryland, UoTurin), ist Autor von mehr als 300 peer-reviewten wissenschaftlichen Publikationen und ist als Redakteur und Gutachter für renommierte Fachzeitschriften tätig. Er ist Berater für Forschungsagenden auf nationaler (BMK, BMDW BMLV) und EU-Ebene (DG CONNECT) und war Mitglied in zahlreichen Komitees bekannter Konferenzen (PERVASIVE, UbiComp, ISWC, WWW, PerDis, INTETAIN, PADS, DS-RT, SIGMETRICS, MASCOTS, MSWiM, MobiWac, TOOLS, Euro-Par, PNPM, ICS, etc. ), leitete z.B. PERVASIVE 2004, ISWC 2009, IOT 2017, EWSN 2022, und TCP leitete z.B. IEEE DS-RT, PERVASIVE, DOA SVI, MASCOTS, PADS. Seine Arbeiten wurden mehrfach ausgezeichnet (z.B. Heinz-Zemanek-Preis, Innovationspreis, Multimedia Staatspreis, Ö-WGP Zukunftspreis).
