Oliver Horst

Dipl.-Inf. Oliver Horst is employed as a staff researcher in the research group Trusted Applications at fortiss. Before this, he was a research engineer jointly at the Fraunhofer ESK and University of Augsburg for four years. There, he concentrated on future automotive software architectures, with a particular emphasis on virtualization techniques and electro mobility. He attended the diploma program "Kerninformatik" at the Technical University of Dortmund, which he completed in 2009. During his studies he focused on computer architecture, embedded systems and simulation. In his diploma thesis, he researched ways to reuse existing motor control software on new hardware platforms without recompilation at the corporate research department of Robert Bosch GmbH near Stuttgart. In his time as a student, he was working as part time software developer for various companies. Today, Mr. Horst is concerned with dependable software architectures and communication algorithms for cyber-physical systems, with special emphasis on multi-core platforms and mixed-criticality environments.
