ProfessorKrzysztof Pawlikowski

Research interests of Prof. Pawlikowski span over the area of data communications, computer networks and the Internet, with an emphasis of issues of their performance modelling. His current research interests are in area of stochastic quantitative discrete-event simulation and credibility of its applications in performance evaluation studies of dynamic systems, such as e.g. the Internet.
A practical goal has been to extend the functionalitity of Akaroa2, a unique controller of quantitative stochastic simulation, designed under his leadership by the Simulation Research Group. The first version of Akaroa2 received an international commendation in Science category in the 1993 Computerworld Smithsonian Award, USA, as the first full-scale implementation of the concept of grid processing. Its documentation is kept in archives of Smithsonian Museum of American History in Washington, D.C, USA. Akaroa2 offers fully automated execution of simulation in Multiple Replications in Parallel scenario and sequential output data analysis, stopping the simulation if the final results reach the required level of statistical error. stochastic
Prof. Pawlikowski graduated from Gdansk Univ. of Technology, Poland, with Ph.D. (Distinction) in Computer Eng in 1975 and worked there until Feb 1983. Since 1984, he had been an active academic of the Univ. of Canterbury in Christchurch, NZ, until he retired in 2014. Currently, as Professor Emeritus of the University of Canterbury, he is involved in research only. He is the author or co-author of over 200 peer-reviewed research papers and 4 books on computer networks, and gave over 170 invited lectures at over 100 universities and research institutions around the globe.
