Dear All,
We are continue Project "Visions from the IT Engine Room" with Professor Dr. Franz J. Rammig, Chairman of IFIP TC 10 on Computer Systems Technology.
Franz Rammig teaches Practical Informatics at the University of Paderborn, the University of the Information Society. His current research areas are design techniques for embedded real-time systems, ranging from abstract specifications (especially using Abstract State Machines) via modeling, analysis, software synthesis (with special emphasis on real-time operating and communications systems) to hardware synthesis (especially using reconfigurable devices). He is the chairman of the Heinz Nixdorf Institute and one of the two directors of C-LAB.
Asked about TC 10 activities with a serious socioeconomic impact, Franz responds:
"We need more powerful design technology, we need new computing paradigms (concurrently acting, intelligent, and self-adapting peer-to-peer systems?), and we must be able to build safe systems, systems that do not harm mankind and the environment. I think that TC10 is attacking these challenges, however from a technology driven point of view."

Enjoy,
