Jan Gustafsson, Associate Professor, Senior Lecturer (not working at IDT anymore)


Jan Gustafsson is Senior Lecturer in Computer Engineering at Mälardalen University since 1985. He has been the head of the department 1993 - 1997 and 1998 - 1999, and is one of the founders of the department, its educational programmes and its research.

He worked at ABB Västerås, Sweden 1975 - 1985 with development of real-time industrial control systems and was manager for the Base System Development (operating system, data communication and database system).

He received a B.Sc. in Mathematics, Physics, Astronomy and Computer Science at Uppsala University, 1974, and a Licentiate degree in Machine Elements (Computer Controlled Mechanics) at KTH, Stockholm, Sweden, 1994.

His current research concerns high-level analysis of real-time programs to calculate annotations to be used in WCET (Worst Case Execution Time) analysis. His research is partly connected to ASTEC at Uppsala University.

In May 2000 he graduated at Uppsala University. In May 2005 Jan was appointed "Docent" (US = associate professor) at Mälardalen University.

Jan Gustafsson retired in May 2012, but still works 20% at MDH.

Jan Gustafssons main interest concerns WCET (Worst Case Execution Time) analysis, especially flow analysis for WCET.
