Come see the I/ITSEC Fellow presentation "Parallel Discrete Event Simulation: Past, Present, and Future" Richard Fujimoto is a Regents’ Professor in the School of Computational Science and Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He received a Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in 1983. Prior to this, he received an M.S. degree from the same institution and two B.S. degrees from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He has been an active researcher and educator in the parallel and distributed simulation field and has devoted his career to this subject. He has authored or co-authored hundreds of technical papers on this topic, including seven award-winning publications and three books, one devoted entirely to parallel and distributed simulation systems. He led the development of parallel and distributed simulation software systems, including the Georgia Tech Time Warp (GTW) simulation executive and the Federated Simulation Development Kit (FDK). He has given numerous keynote addresses and tutorials on parallel and distributed simulation at leading conferences. He led the definition of the time management services for the High Level Architecture for Modeling and Simulation standard (IEEE 1516). Fujimoto has served as Co-Editor-in-Chief of the journal Simulation: Transactions of the Society for Modeling and Simulation International, as well as a founding area editor for ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation. He has led in the organization of many modeling and simulation conferences, notably the PADS conference over the last thirty years. He was the founding Chair of the School of Computational Science (CSE) at Georgia Tech, among the first academic units of its kind focused on the discipline concerned with computer-based models of natural and engineered systems. In this role, he led the creation of the Ph.D. and M.S. degree programs in CSE as well as two undergraduate minors. He is a recipient of the ACM Distinguished Contributions in Modeling and Simulation Award for his accomplishments in the parallel and distributed simulation field.
