Specialties: Cyber-physical systems, embedded software, real-time systems.
Edward A. Lee has been working on embedded software systems for 40 years. After studying and working at Yale, MIT, and Bell Labs, he landed at Berkeley, where he is now a Professor of the Graduate School in EECS. His research is focused on cyber-physical systems. He is the lead author of the open-source software system Ptolemy II, author of textbooks on embedded systems and digital communications, and has recently been writing books on philosophical and social implications of technology. His current research is focused on a polyglot coordination language for distributed real-time systems called Lingua Franca that combines features of discrete-event modeling, synchronous languages, and actors.
My academic background is in cyber-physical systems, embedded software, and real-time systems. My current research is focused on a polyglot coordination language for distributed real-time systems called Lingua Franca that combines features of discrete-event modeling, synchronous languages, and actors. Additional areas of interest: society and technology, digital humanism, determinism, safety-critical software, distributed software, philosophy of technology, technology and society, and technology policy. I serve on the EECS department executive committee and the awards committee.
