Dynamic Systems

Key responsibilities

Within the Performance-Critical Systems Initiative, Dave Gluch is working on model-based software engineering practices for dependable real-time systems. His current focus is the application of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Architecture Analysis & Design Language (AADL) in system and software engineering practices. (http://www.aadl.info)

Professional Background

Gluch was a senior member of the technical staff at the SEI for nine years before his appointment as a professor in the Department of Computer and Software Engineering at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Before joining the SEI, he held key engineering and technical management positions with various high technology corporations. His work focused on the development of real-time software-intensive systems including fault-tolerant computers, commercial fly-by-wire aircraft control, automated process control, and simulation systems for the Space Shuttle.

In addition to engineering and management responsibility for major projects, he has authored numerous professional articles and corporate technical reports and has co-authored a book on real-time UNIX systems. Prior to his work in industrial research and development, Dave held academic research and teaching positions. He is a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
