Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jörn Schneider


  • Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jörn Schneider

    Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jörn Schneider studied electrical engineering at the University of Applied Sciences Kaiserslautern, and computer science at the Saarland University. He worked at the international meeting and research centre Schloss Dagstuhl (Leibniz Center for Informatics). In 2003 he received his PhD in computer science at Saarland University and became a researcher at Robert Bosch GmbH, where he and his project team developed the first multi-core real-time operating system for safety related automotive control units. Prof. Schneider was responsible in the AUTOSAR industrial standard committee for reengineering the AUTOSAR software architecture and integration of multi-core support. He was involved in Bosch’s internal process to contribute to the constitution of the ISO 26262 automotive safety norm. Since 2008 he is full professor at Trier University of Applied Sciences. His core research domain is in cyber-physical systems, real-time systems, operating systems, fault-tolerance, software verification, and software safety. He also has a strong focus on applied research on future mobility and is responsible for the major research instrument dynamic driving simulator (FaSiMo) at Trier University of Applied Sciences. In recent times he added safety of artificial intelligence based cyber physical systems, especially in the context of automated driving (SOTIF) to his teaching and research portfolio. Prof. Schneider serves as evaluating expert of research proposals for the European Commission in Horizon Europe and did this for former funding programs, additionally he reviewed research projects on behalf of the European Commission. He is one of the heads of the Automotive Software Engineering subgroup of the German Society for Informatics (Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. – GI e.V.). Prof. Schneider was and is a member of several program committees of conferences, and Workshops, e.g. of the ACM Design Automation Conference, or the GI Automotive Safety and Security Conference. He also served as reviewer for the ACM Transactions on Cyber-Physical Systems, and is a member of the steering committee of the Automotive Software Engineering special interest group of the German Society for Informatics (GI e.V.). Prof. Schneider is a member of IEEE, IEEE Computer Society, VDI e.V., and GI e.V.
