Karsten Schwan

	Karsten Schwan Karsten Schwan (August 21, 1952 – September 28, 2015) was an American computer pioneer, academic who had held the position of Professor of Computer Science and the director of Center for Experimental Research in Computer Systems (CERCS) at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Biography Schwan grew up in Oldenburg, Germany, the second of five children to Werner and Erika Schwans. He had a life-changing experience in his teens when his father who worked for the West German-American military was sent to El Paso, Texas for two years. It sparked in him a love of travel and of the U.S. His hobbies included reading science fiction books, hiking, and gardening. An East Frisian man, he greatly enjoyed starting his day with a big breakfast of fresh bread and cheese, and a regular ''Teetied'' with a traditionaEast Frisian tea ceremony He earned his B.S. degree at West Germany’s Christian-Albrechts Universitaet. Later, he received M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Carnegie Mellon University ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Computer Science Computer science is the study of computation, automation, and information. Computer science spans theoretical disciplines (such as algorithms, theory of computation, information theory, and automation) to practical disciplines (including the design and implementation of hardware and software). Computer science is generally considered an area of academic research and distinct from computer programming. Algorithms and data structures are central to computer science. The theory of computation concerns abstract models of computation and general classes of problems that can be solved using them. The fields of cryptography and computer security involve studying the means for secure communication and for preventing security vulnerabilities. Computer graphics and computational geometry address the generation of images. Programming language theory considers different ways to describe computational processes, and database theory concerns the management of repositories o ...
