BRIEF PROFESSIONAL BIOGRAPHY

Alexander L. Wolf serves as Dean of the Baskin School of Engineering and is a
Distinguished Professor in the department of Computer Science and Engineering at
the University of California, Santa Cruz (US).

Prof. Wolf received the B.A. degree from Queens College of the City University
of New York, majoring in both Geology and Computer Science. He received the M.S.
and Ph.D. degrees from the Department of Computer Science at the University of
Massachusetts at Amherst. Prof. Wolf was a Member of the Technical Staff at AT&T
Bell Laboratories (now AT&T Labs Research and Bell Laboratories) in Murray Hill,
New Jersey, before joining the University of Colorado faculty. During his years
at the University of Colorado, Prof. Wolf held the ranks of assistant,
associate, and full professor. He also held the Charles Victor Schelke Chair in
the College of Engineering. At the University of Lugano he helped found the
Faculty of Informatics, the first computer science faculty in the
Italian-speaking region of Switzerland. Before moving to his present position,
Prof. Wolf held a chaired professorship in the Department of Computing at
Imperial College London.

Prof. Wolf's research interests span the areas of distributed systems,
networking, and software engineering. His achievements include seminal work in
software architecture, business analytics, and information-centric networks. His
more recent projects concern cloud computing, data-center networking, and
service-based systems hosted on MANETs.

Prof. Wolf served as President of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)
and chaired the Executive Committee (EC) of the ACM Council, the governing
authority of the association. He was also a founding member of the ACM Europe
Council and was a long-time participant in the ACM Distinguished Speakers
Program (DSP). He previously served as Secretary-Treasurer and then Vice
President of the ACM, Chair of the ACM Special Interest Group (SIG) Governing
Board (SGB), Vice Chair and then Chair of the ACM Special Interest Group in
Software Engineering (SIGSOFT), and Chair of the ACM Software System Award
committee. He served on the editorial boards of the Research Highlights section
of ACM's flagship publication Communications of the ACM (CACM), the ACM journal
Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology (TOSEM), the IEEE Computer
Society journal Transactions on Software Engineering (TSE), and the Wiley
journal Software Process - Improvement and Practice (SPIP), and has chaired a
number of international program committees.

Prof. Wolf is a Fellow of the ACM, a Fellow of the IEEE, a Fellow of the AAAS, a
Chartered Fellow of the British Computer Society (BCS), holder of a Royal
Society-Wolfson Research Merit Award, two-time recipient of an ACM SIGSOFT
Research Impact Award ([1],[2]), recipient of both the ACM SIGSOFT Outstanding
Research Award and Distinguished Service Award, and recipient of an Alumni Award
for Outstanding Achievement in Research from the Department of Computer Science
at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
