Bio

Dr. Richard Fujimoto is a Regents' Professor in the College of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He received the Ph.D. and M.S. degrees from the University of California (Berkeley) in 1980 and 1983 (Computer Science and Electrical Engineering) and B.S. degrees from the University of Illinois (Urbana) in 1977 and 1978 (Computer Science and Computer Engineering). Dr. Fujimoto has been working in the area of parallel and distributed simulation systems since 1985. In this regard, he was the principal architect of the Georgia Tech Time Warp (GTW) parallel/distributed simulation executive that has been used to model telecommunication networks, aviation, and military systems. He chaired the working group responsible for defining the time management services for the U.S. Department of Defense High Level Architecture (HLA) effort that has been designated as the standard reference architecture for modeling and simulation in the DoD, and has since been standardized by IEEE. He lead the development of the federated simulations development kit (FDK) that includes high performance distributed simulation software to support interoperability and reuse of simulations, as well as high performance on parallel and distributed computing platforms. He has authored a textbook on parallel and distributed simulation systems and co-authored a book on parallel computers. Dr. Fujimoto became the first chair of a new division in Computational Science and Engineering within the College of Computing at Georgia Tech in 2005.
