Curriculum Vitae

Dr. habil. Peter Struss is a professor at the Technical University of Munich and the head of the model-based systems and qualitative reasoning group. He obtained a Diploma in mathematics from the University of Göttingen, received a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Kaiserslautern for his work on qualitative modeling, and accomplished his habilitation in computer science at the Technical University of Munich for his work on a theory of diagnosis based on multiple models.

He stayed as a guest researcher at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (1985 and 1988/89) and at the International Computer Science Institute in Berkeley (1994/95). Until 1992 he was the head of the Advanced Reasoning Methods group at Siemens Corporate Research and Development in Munich. His active research areas are qualitative reasoning, non-monotonic reasoning and model-based systems.

In the German Computer Science Society (GI), he acts as the speaker of the special interest group on "Knowledge Representation and Reasoning". He gave tutorials on model-based diagnosis at several major conferences, and many invited lectures on related subjects. He edited 4 books on "Recent Advances in Qualitative Physics" (jointly with Boi Faltings), "Intelligent Diagnosis in Industrial Application" (with Lothar Hotz and Thomas Guchenbiehl) and others and served as a member of the program committees for the International Workshop on Priciples of Diagnosis, the International Workshopon Qualitative Reasoning, as the area chair for "Reasoning about Physical Systems" for ECAI-94, and as a co-chairman of the Fourth International Workshop on Qualitative Physics (QP90) and of the International Conference on Intelligent Systems in Engineering ISE-94. He served as a member ofthe first editorial board of the Journal for Artificial Intelligence Research. With his group at Siemens, he was involved in the ESPRIT-project ARTIST and the German joint project BEHAVIOR both aiming at applying model-based diagnosis to real application problems and at providing a general software framework for such systems.
In the European project VMBD, the first prototype of a model-based diagnosis system running on a real vehicle was developed. Tools for designers of vehicle on-board systems are the target of an ongoing project, IDD.
AUTAS is a project with European aerospace industries that aims at model-based systems supporting Failure-Modes-and-Effects-Analysis.
Other work is dedicated to modeling, diagnosis and therapy generation for ecological systems.

Peter Struss is also a co-founder of OCC'M, a software company that provides tools and application systems for automated diagnosis and other knowledge-based systems.
