Stephan Reiff-Marganiec

Stephan Reiff-Marganiec is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Leicester, which he joined in 2003 as a lecturer. He worked in the computer industry in Germany and Luxembourg for several years. From 1998 to 2001 he was as a Research Assistant at the University of Glasgow, while at the same time reading for a PhD in Computing Science. The work performed at Glasgow investigated hybrid approaches to the feature interaction problem. From 2001 to 2003 Stephan was as a Research Fellow at the University of Stirling, investigating policies, emerging features and associated conflict resolution techniques. Stephan was responsible for organising the British Colloquium for Theoretical Computer Science in 2001 and again in 2004 and since 2004 has been Treasurer of BCTCS. He was also co-Chair of the 8th and 10th International Conference on Feature Interactions in Telecommunications and Software Systems, he was co-Chair of the second, third and fourth Young Researchers Workshop in Service Oriented Computing (YR-SOC 2007, 2008 and 2009) and is senior member of the steering committee for YR-SOC. Stephan was principal investigator of the project “Ad-Hoc Web Applications” funded by the Nuffield foundation and leader of workpackages and tasks in the EU funded projects Leg2Net, Sensoria, and inContext focusing on automatic service adaption, context aware service selection, workflows, and rule based service composition. Stephan has published in excess of 40 papers in international conferences and journals and has been a member of a large number of programme committees.
