Wilfried Elmenreich (born 1973 in Fürstenfeld, Austria) is an Austrian researcher and professor of Smart Grids at the Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt.
Wilfried Elmenreich studied computer science at the Vienna University of Technology where he received his master's degree in 1998. He became a research and teaching assistant at the Institute of Computer Engineering at Vienna University of Technology in 1999. He received his doctoral degree with distinction on the topic of time-triggered sensor fusion in 2002. From 1999 to 2007 he was the chief developer of the time-triggered fieldbus protocol TTP/A and the Smart Transducer Interface standard. [1] In 2003, he started the international Workshop on Intelligent Solutions in Embedded Systems (WISES), [2] which has since taken place annually. In 2004, he organized the Second IEEE International Conference on Computational Cybernetics (ICCC) in Vienna. [3]
Elmenreich was a visiting researcher at the Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee in 2005 and at the CISTER/IPP-Hurray Research Unit at the Polytechnic Institute of Porto in 2007. By the end of 2007, he moved to the Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt to become a senior researcher at the Institute of Networked and Embedded Systems. Working in the area of cooperative relaying, he published two patents together with Helmut Adam and Christian Bettstetter. [4] [5] One result of the work on self-organizing systems yielded an open-source research tool named FREVO. [6]
In 2008, he received Habilitation in the area of Computer Engineering from Vienna University of Technology. In Winter term 2012-2013 he was professor of complex systems engineering at the University of Passau. He has held a Professor of Smart Grids position at the Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt since April 2013. His research projects [7] also affiliate him with the Lakeside Labs research cluster in Klagenfurt.
Wilfried Elmenreich is a member of the senate of the Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt, Senior Member of IEEE and counselor of Klagenfurt's IEEE student branch. [8] In 2012, he organized the international Advent Programming Contest. [9]
Wilfried was editor of 4 books and published over 100 papers in the field of networked and embedded systems. He maintains the research blogs "Self-Organizing Networked Systems", [10] "The Smart Grid" [11] and "Networking Embedded Systems". [12]
