Jeff Kramer is Emeritus Professor of Distributed Computing at Imperial College London. He was Senior Dean and Member of Council, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, and the Head of the Department of Computing. In 2021 the Council of Imperial College London conferred on him the Imperial College Medal in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the life and work of Imperial College.
His research work is primarily concerned with software engineering. His research covers distributed computing, behavior analysis, the use of models in requirements elaboration and architectural approaches to self organising adaptive software systems. He was a principal investigator in the various research projects that led to the development of the CONIC and DARWIN environments for distributed programming and the associated research into software architectures and their analysis. The work on the Darwin Software Architecture led to its commercial use by Philips in their new generation of consumer television products.
Jeff Kramer is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, a Chartered Engineer, Fellow of the ACM, Fellow of the City and Guilds of London Institute, Fellow of the IET, Fellow of the BCS, and Members of the IEEE and Academia Europaea. He was program co chair of the 21st ICSE in Los Angeles in 1999, Chair of the Steering Committee for ICSE from 2000 to 2002, and general co-chair of ICSE 2010 in Cape Town. He was associate editor and member of the editorial board of ACM TOSEM from 1995 to 2001 and of IEEE TSE from 2003 to 2005. He was appointed Editor in Chief of IEEE TSE from January 2006 to December 2009.
At ICSE 2003 he received the retrospective Most Influential Paper Award for ICSE 1993, and in 2012 he was awarded the ACM SIGSOFT Retrospective impact Paper award for a paper from 1996. Together with Prof. Magee, he was awarded the 2005 ACM SIGSOFT Outstanding Research Award for significant and lasting research contributions to software engineering. In 2011 he was awarded the ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Service Award in recognition of his significant and extensive service to the software engineering community. He is currently a Visiting Professor at the National Institute of Informatics (NII) Tokyo, Japan, and was a Distinguished Visiting Professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
He has been on all the major conference committees and given numerous invited keynote talks at international conferences. He is co-author of books on Concurrency, Distributed Systems and Computer Networks; editor of a text book on Digital Humanism; and the author of over 250 refereed journal and conference publications. He has served on numerous national and international committees, advisory panels and review panels. He has also worked with many industries, including British Coal, BP, BT, NATS, Fujitsu, Barclays Capital, QinetiQ, Kodak, Microsoft, British Post Office and Philips, in research collaboration and/or as a consultant.
