Hannes Hartenstein is Professor for Computer Science at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. He is co-author of more than 100 publications in books, international journals, and reviewed conference proceedings, and TPC member of more than 30 international conferences. Prof. Hartenstein was participating at the DFG Priority Program “Ergodic Theory, Analysis, and Efficient Simulation of Dynamical Systems” at Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg as research assistant to Prof. Dr. Dietmar Saupe.
From 1999 to 2003 he was with the Mobile Internet Group of the NEC Europe Network Labs in Heidelberg, Germany, participating in the “FleetNet - Internet on the Road” project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). Since 2003 he is with Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and since 2008 he also is a director of KIT’s Steinbuch Centre for Computing, the IT Centre of KIT that combines IT services with research and innovation in the field of applied information technology. Hannes Hartenstein is currently member of the DFG Research Training Groups “Sensor-Actuator Networks” and “Information Management and Market Engineering”. The group of Hannes Hartenstein consists of 9 fulltime researchers and an associated junior research group of 3 researchers (funded by the State of Baden-Württemberg, the Tschira Foundation, INIT GmbH and PTV AG) and is involved in a variety of European, national and ‘in-house’ research and innovation projects including:
- An EU FP7 STREP “Preparation for driving implementation and evaluation of C2X communication technology” on simulation and preparation of field operational tests for vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication.
- The national “MeRegioMobil” project (funded by three federal ministries) on ICT systems and architectures for electric mobilit.
- An BSI-funded project “Communication by autonomous infrastructure” on peer-to-peer networking technologies for robust and decentralized communication.
- A KIT-funded project on integrated information management with focus on federated identity and access management. Key research topics are mobile networks, virtual networks, and IT management.
