Biography

Mark Klein has 25 years of experience in the research facets of software engineering, focusing on dependable real-time systems and numerical methods. His work has emphasized the analysis of software architectures, architecture tradeoff analysis, and attribute-driven architectural design, along with scheduling theory. In the realm of real-time systems, he has contributed significantly to the development of Rate Monotonic Analysis (RMA), extending its theoretical foundation and applying it to realistic systems. His earlier research explored high-order finite element methods aimed at solving fluid flow equations that arise in oil reservoir simulations. He has published extensively in the fields of software architecture and real-time scheduling theory, co-authoring notable books such as the 'Practitioners Handbook on Real-Time Analysis: A Guide to Rate Monotonic Analysis for Real-Time Systems' and 'Evaluating Software Architecture: Methods and Case Studies.'
