Paweł T. Wojciechowski

I’m an Associate Professor affiliated to Institute of Computing Science, Poznan University of Technology, where I’m leading the Concurrent Systems Group. The institute is part of the Faculty of Computing and Telecommunications.

My research interests include concurrency, distributed systems, replication, transactional memory, programming languages, and formal verification.

My last research project, called Persistent Datastore, funded by the Foundation for Polish Science (FNP), contributed new variants of Paxos consensus protocol (to support efficient operation with the crash-recovery mode, and to support global ordering of decisions), the nonblocking data structures with transactional operations, and several results in the theory of weakly-consistent distributed systems. We also experimented with persistent memory in the above context. Before I was a Principal Investigator of several projects funded by the National Science Centre (NCN) and FNP. Before I worked in the UK and Switzerland (see my short bio for a brief summary).

I am Associate Editor of the Foundations of Computing and Decision Sciences (FCDS), a quarterly international (open access) journal, published since 1975.

Please contact me if you are interested in joint research projects, want to collaborate, or to obtain a PhD degree in computer science. I wrote some slides (in Polish) for our graduates, why it is worth to do a MSc course or a PhD degree in Distributed and Cloud Computing.

Short Bio

After obtaining the Master of Engineering in Computer Science degree from Faculty of Electrical Engineering at Poznan University of Technology, I joined the Faculty as Research and Teaching Assistant. Soon later I left Poland and after 10 years I have re-employed at Poznan University of Technology in November, 2005. I obtained the Habilitation degree in Computer Science in 2008. Here are my research interests, PhD students, projects, and papers.

While abroad, I was a postdoctoral fellow at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in the School of Computer and Communication Sciences. I was co-author and investigator on the joint LSR (Distributed Systems) and LAMP (Programming Methods) labs project. The project delivered several contributions, e.g.: novel models, algorithms, and implementations of group communication protocols with support of both the crash-stop and crash-recovery models, and programming tools for modular protocol design with support of dynamic protocol update.

Before this, I was a researcher at the University of Cambridge. I was a member of the Theory and Semantics Group and the Opera (Distributed Systems) Group in the Computer Laboratory. I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the University of Cambridge. Within my Ph.D. project I have designed and implemented Nomadic Pict - a distributed, mobile agent programming language, that has a formal definition based on process calculi. It was one of the first such languages. Nomadic Pict has been used to design various infrastructure algorithms for location-independent communication of mobile agents.
