Curriculum Vitae

Dr. Stefan Arbanowski, born 1973, is head of the Competence Centre Future Applications and Media (FAME) at Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication Systems FOKUS in Berlin, Germany. Stefan Arbanowski received his Ph.D and M.Sc. in computer science from the Technical University Berlin (TUB), Germany. He gave lectures in broadband networks, mobile communications, service platform, and middleware technologies at TUB. Since 1995, he participated several national and international research projects related to service platforms (e.g. IN/TMN, TINA, IMS), UMS, rich media, IPTV, mobile and personal communications.

Currently, he is coordinating Fraunhofer FOKUS' IPTV activities, bundling expertise in the areas of interactive applications, media handling, mobile telecommunications, and next generation networks. FOKUS channels those activities towards networked media environments featuring live, on demand, context-aware, and personalized interactive media.

He is member of eMobility European Technology Platform Steering Board and was chairman elect of the Wireless World Research Forum (WWRF) Service Platform Working Group (WG2) for 2004-2005. Beside telecommunications and distributed service platforms, he has published more than 70 papers in respective journals and conferences in the area of personalized service provisioning. He is member of various program committees of international conferences.
